Failure Mode for the Repairs. After mechanical testing, the failure mode of the FDP repairs were characterized as either gap formation, suture breakage, or anchor pull out. Suture breakage occurred in 12.5% (1 out of 8) of the all-inside suture repairs and was not seen in any of the other repair types. Anchor pull out occurred in 28.6% of the Arthrex Micro Corkscrew anchors repairs and 71.4% of the DePuy Micro Mitek Anchor repairs.
