Abstract

The suture was the weakest link in most of the anchor constructs tested. Compared to metallic anchors, PLLA bioabsorbable anchor constructs required more force to failure at all time points, with the 0- and 6-week points being statistically significant differences. No difference was noted in the effect that either anchor had on the surrounding bone.
