| Abstract | The digital flexor tendons of the hand, including the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP), are responsible for enabling finger flexion and gripping. Injuries involving a partial or complete laceration to the digital flexor tendons are common and associated with a high incidence of morbidity [1]. The current state of the art for flexor tendon repair is the use of two or more core sutures in combination with an epitendinous circumferential suture. There are inherent limitations to suture based methods, including a high level of skill required to perform the suture repair, increased surgical time and the tendency for sutures to strangulate the tissue (creating local tissue ischemia). Suture based repairs often result in sub-optimal clinical outcomes, with reported failure rates ranging from 4%–10% [2]. In order to address these limitations, a novel non-suture based repair device has been developed. The objectives of this study were twofold. The first objective was to determine the gapping strength of the device in cadaver FDP tendons so that comparisons could be made to values reported in the literature for suture based repairs. The second objective was to determine the in-vivo capability of the device to facilitate tendon repair, relative to a suture control, in a rabbit model at a five week time point. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
