Meniscus repair devices have been previously tested and presented; however, prior studies have not evaluated repair construct designs head to head. This study compared a new-generation meniscus repair device, SpeedCinch, with a similar established device, Fast-Fix 360, and a parallel repair construct to a crossed construct. Both devices utilize self-adjusting No. 2-0 ultra\u2013high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and 2 polyether ether ketone (PEEK) anchors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Hypothesis:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Crossed suture repair constructs have higher failure loads and stiffness compared with simple parallel constructs.

Evaluation of 2 repair devices and 2 repair constructs created 4 groups: 2 parallel vertical sutures created with the Fast-Fix 360 (2PFF), 2 crossed vertical sutures created with the Fast-Fix 360 (2XFF), 2 parallel vertical sutures created with the SpeedCinch (2PSC), and 2 crossed vertical sutures created with the SpeedCinch (2XSC). After open placement of the repair construct, each meniscus was explanted and tested to failure on a uniaxial material testing machine. All data were checked for normality of distribution, and 1-way analysis of variance by ranks was chosen to evaluate for statistical significance of maximum failure load and stiffness between groups. Statistical significance was defined as P &lt; .05.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean maximum failure loads \u00b1 95% CI (range) were 89.6 \u00b1 16.3 N (125.7-47.8 N) (2PFF), 72.1 \u00b1 11.7 N (103.4-47.6 N) (2XFF), 71.9 \u00b1 15.5 N (109.4-41.3 N) (2PSC), and 79.5 \u00b1 25.4 N (119.1-30.9 N) (2XSC).
