Soft tissue fixation to bone
Abstract
This experiment was designed to compare the imme diate fixation strengths of various methods of soft tissue fixation techniques. The fixation techniques tested were the barbed staple, stone staple, suture techniques, screw with spiked plastic washer, and the screw with spiked soft tissue plate. Cadaveric soft tissue specimens were classified into three distinct morphologic types: capsular, tendinous, and extensor mechanism tissue. Each specimen was fixed to bone by one of the fixation techniques. The specimens were loaded in a cyclical fashion until fixation failure occurred. One hundred thirty-seven trials were performed. The screws with the spiked plastic washer and soft tissue plate proved superior overall for all three tissue types. The stone staple was the poorest technique tested. Therefore, if cyclic loading or tension is anticipated at the fixation site, the fixation technique of choice would be the screw with spiked plastic washer or soft tissue fixation plate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
