Abstract
Our previous biomechanical study of Spiral Linking Technique for tendon repairs showed, that it is strong enough to be used in clinical practice as an alternative to Pulvertaft tendon repair. However, lack of stiffness and need of longer tendon ends were identified, when compared to Pulvertaft. In this study we changed two variables looking to improve the Spiral technique. Creating two spirals appears to give the optimal configuration to spiral tendon repairs. Using one cross stitch in the middle of a joint of repair can further augment the repair.
