This experimental study compared the tensile mechanical properties of common sutures and synthetic tapes across a bone tunnel edge. We hypothesized that failure would primarily occur at the cortical bone edge owing to abrasion at the suture\u2013bone interface and that increasing strand number would increase construct stiffness and decrease failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Five suture materials (SutureTape, LabralTape, FiberTape, Ethibond, and Mersilene) were tested in one-, two- and four-strand configurations, with 12 constructs per group.
