We hypothesized that, in providing biomechanical strength, at least one of the two middle strands in a modified six-strand Lim-Tsai flexor tendon repair could be divided without obvious reduction in repair strength owing to uneven load bearing. A total of 40 porcine flexor digitorum profundus tendons were repaired using the six-strand Lim-Tsai technique with a 4-0 FiberLoop® suture and then divided into four equal groups. (no cut, one middle strand cut, both middle strand cut, one side strand cut). The biomechanical performance of repaired tendons was tested and found to vary according to the location of the cuts.
