Soft tissue fixation to bone.

D B Robertson, D M Daniel, E Biden

    The American Journal of Sports Medicine
    |September 1, 1986

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    For soft tissue fixation, screws with spiked washers or plates offer superior strength over staples and sutures when cyclic loading is expected. These methods provide better fixation for capsular, tendinous, and extensor tissues.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Soft tissue fixation to bone is crucial in orthopedic procedures.
    • Various fixation techniques exist, but their comparative immediate fixation strengths are not fully elucidated.
    • Understanding fixation strength is vital for successful surgical outcomes and patient recovery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the immediate fixation strengths of five different soft tissue fixation techniques.
    • To evaluate the performance of barbed staples, stone staples, suture techniques, screw with spiked plastic washer, and screw with spiked soft tissue plate.
    • To determine the optimal fixation method for different soft tissue types under cyclic loading.

    Main Methods:

    • Cadaveric soft tissue specimens (capsular, tendinous, extensor mechanism) were used.

  • Five fixation techniques were applied to attach soft tissue to bone.
  • Specimens underwent cyclical loading until fixation failure to assess strength.

    • Main Results:

    • Screws with spiked plastic washers and soft tissue plates demonstrated superior fixation strength across all tested tissue types.
    • The stone staple technique exhibited the poorest fixation performance.
    • One hundred thirty-seven trials were conducted to gather robust data.

    Conclusions:

    • Screw-based fixation with spiked washers or plates is recommended when cyclic loading or tension is anticipated at the fixation site.
    • The stone staple is not recommended for applications involving significant tension.
    • Choosing the appropriate fixation technique is critical for preventing fixation failure in orthopedic surgery.
