Assessment of Needle Point Behavior in Cartilage: Investigating Puncture Force and Suture Retention

Suturing cartilage can be challenging, especially when tissue shredding occurs due to repeated needle passes. The study aimed to evaluate two primary outcomes: (1) to evaluate the force required to puncture cartilage and (2) the suture retention strength, comparing two distinct needle geometries. Pu...
