title: The Doubled-Suture Nice Knot.
abstract: The authors describe a novel suture fixation technique that combines a doubled suture with a sliding knot. The knot can be tied in both open and arthroscopic surgery to fix torn tendons/ligaments and fractured/osteotomized bones. The advantages of the doubled-suture Nice knot include strength, adjustability, simplicity, and versatility. This technique, which has proven useful in the authors' practice for the past 10 years, has replaced metallic wires and cables for bone fixation. The doubled-suture Nice knot can also be tied over a double-button and has been used for ankle syndesmosis, acromioclavicular joint separation repair, and coracoid bone block fixation.
