Abstract. Avulsion or distal tendon laceration of flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) is classically repaired to the base of the distal phalanx via a pullout suture over a button. Bone suture anchors, used extensively in other surgical areas, have recently been proposed for reattachment of the FDP to the distal phalanx. The FDP tendons of the index, long, and ring fingers in 9 fresh frozen cadeveric hands were randomized to 1 of 3 repair techniques after simulated distal avulsion injuries. These were the pullout button using 3-0 monofilament nylon in a 2-strand Bunnell suture pattern, the 1.8 mm Mini QuickAnchor (Mitek Products, Norwood, MA) using 3-0 braided polyester in a 2-strand Bunnell suture pattern, and the Mitek micro anchor using 3-0 braided polyester with a modified 4-strand Becker suture pattern...
