Abstract:

Suture anchors often fail in service due to the abrasion and fracture of suture at the interface between suture and anchor eyelet in clinic. However, the quantitative evaluation of the abrasion resistance of suture is still unascertained owing to the absence of an measurement technique. A abrasion testing device was constructed, and several commonly used sutures and anchors were selected for this experiment. The breaking force and abrasion resistance of the sutures were analyzed by altering the suture-pull angle (θSA) and the anchor rotation angle (θARA). The results show that the abrasion device could provide quantitative comparisons for different sutures. The monofilament structure of poly (p-dioxanone) suture demonstrates the highest breaking strength and exhibits superior abrasion resistance. The groove on the anchor eyelet surface results in inferior abrasion resistance, and the larger the groove size, the higher the abrasion resistance. The suture shows lower abrasion resistance at θSA=0° compared with that at θSA=45°. For the anchor without groove, the suture displayed higher abrasion resistance at θARA=90°. In contrast, for the anchor with groove, the suture showed higher abrasion resistance at θARA=0°.
