[Suture and suture material in the surgery of finger tendons].
The authors describe two methods of suturing injured finger tendons and requirements to suture material. A polyamide monofilament thread with a conventional number 3/0 used by the authors for a removable suture of the tendon is the suture material of choice. For a buried suture it is expedient to use absorbable threads which begin degrading within three weeks after operation. The developed by the authors loop-shaped removable and buried sutures are strong, atraumatic and simple for fulfillment.
