In Vitro Biomechanical Study on the “Figure-of-Eight” and Kessler Sutures in Sw...
Kawachi,Diogo Thomaz; Deienno,Francisco Simões; Varanda,Denis; Cortopassi,Andrea Christina; Sardenberg,TrajanoAbstract Objective To evaluate the biomechanical properties of the “figure-of-eight” and Kessler suture techniques for tendons. Methods Flexor tendons of porcine fingers were divided into two groups with triple central “figure of eight” sutures (six passages) and Kessler sutures (two passages) associated with simple and continuous peripheral sutures, and submitted to continuous longitudinal mechanical tests, to...
Hand and wrist surgery without suspending warfarin or oral antiplatelet - syste...
Sardenberg,Trajano; Deienno,Francisco Simões; Miranda,Raffaello de Freitas; Varanda,Denis; Cortopassi,Andréa ChristinaABSTRACT To assess, through a systematic literature review, whether or not it is necessary to suspend antithrombotic medications (warfarin, aspirin, and clopidogrel) to perform elective wrist and hand surgeries. The search for articles was performed using a combination of keywords in the databases available, without scientific design constraints, being selected series with five or more surgeries; the selected a...
