The repaired tendons were tested at 2 weeks and 4 weeks after surgery. The ultimate load and failure stress of the repaired tendons were evaluated using a uniaxial loading device. The samples were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&amp;E) as well as Sirius red for histological evaluation.

However, compared with nonabsorbable PA, absorbable sutures (PGA and PLGA) demonstrated higher failure loads. At 4 weeks after suture, the postsutured tendons in the 3 groups were thicker, and the PGA (78.64 \u00b1 4.69 N) and PLGA (71.19 \u00b1 3.81 N) groups demonstrated significantly greater ultimate loads than the PA (54.76 \u00b1 5.79 N) group; compared with the PLGA group, the PGA group exhibited more adhesion. Histologically, the Bonar scores for the PGA (9.60 \u00b1 0.89) and PLGA (9.80 \u00b1 0.83) groups were significantly lower than that for the PA group (11.20 \u00b1 0.83) at 4 weeks postsuture. Collagen type III predominated in the PA and PLGA groups, whereas collagen type I was predominant in the PGA group at 2 weeks postsuture.
