Peak tension developed at the suture site, for repairs of longitudinal slits with 2, 3, 6, or 9 sutures, and for single-site repairs of regional acetabular and femoral insertion detachments. For these model runs, suture material failure or suture pullout was assumed not to occur. For reference, the range of ultimate tensile strength for No. 1 and No. 2 suture materials reported in the literature25 is shown in gray.
