Biomechanical Comparison of Distal Radioulnar Joint Reconstruction Graft Preparation Techniques

Conclusions In this biomechanical study, augmentation of porcine tendons with suture spaced at either 6 or 12 mm for DRUJ reconstruction significantly increased survival to a staircase cyclic loading protocol
Clinical Relevance For the Adams–Berger reconstruction, tendon grafts augmented along their entire length by nonabsorbable braided suture are biomechanically superior to tendon alone.
