(A) The friction forces in all repaired tendon groups were significantly higher than those of normal tendon friction. The friction forces of the two groups with Triple-C augmentation were not significantly different from those of the MKo group. (B) The repaired tendon ultimate tensile strength of the MK + Tri-C group was not significantly different from that of the MKo group or the MK-2knots + Tri-C group, whereas the repaired tendon ultimate tensile strength of the MK-2knots + Tri-C group was significantly stronger than that of the MKo group. (C) The force to form a 2-mm gap of the groups with Tri-C was significantly higher than that of the MK group alone. (D) The repaired tendon stiffness was not significantly different among the three groups with different repair techniques. A different letter indicates a significant difference (a < b), whereas the same letter indicates no significant difference (a = ab, ab = b). MK = modified Kessler; MKo = MK repair alone; Tri-C = Triple-C.
