Biomechanical superiority of novel dynamic tape over standard tape suture in distal triceps tendon repair: a human cadaveric study testing an intense early rehabilitation protocol
DYNATape demonstrated improved biomechanical competence compared to SutureTape in a distal triceps tendon repair model, with significantly lower maximal displacement and higher load to failure. These findings indicate that DYNATape may offer a more stable construct under controlled laboratory conditions. Knot slippage and bone-related complications observed in both groups underscore the technical challenges associated with this repair technique and highlight the importance of precise surgical execution.
