Each trachea underwent end\u2010to\u2010end annular ligament anastomosis with a simple continuous pattern with 2\u20100 polypropylene on a taper cut needle. The constructs were tested to failure in distraction, with a tensiometer set at a drop head speed of 50\u2009mm\/min, as determined by preliminary testing. Failure was defined by tissue pullthrough or suture material failure.
