Abstract:
Sutures often must be passed through bone tunnels to repair soft tissue or bone. Three easy, inexpensive, and time-saving suture-passing techniques are described in this article. These techniques, which involve using 1 of 3 readily available instruments (Angiocath, Hewson suture retriever, Keith needle), can be applied in many different orthopedic surgical procedures and may save much time and aggravation in the operating room.
