The area of the tendon within the locking suture configuration of the modified Pennington repair is an important determinant of eventual tendon strength. This 2-strand repair's loop configurations encompass a large cross-sectional area of the tendon. Many recently proposed repairs, however, consist of locks in a number of narrow sites on the tendon surface and most are multistranded. It is not clear how the area within the locks affects tendon strength and whether the effects of locking areas change according to the number of repair strands. In this study we investigate the effects of locking area on repair strength of 2- and 4-strand tendon repairs.
