In a controlled laboratory study, a surgeon tied 90 knots using FiberWire through an arthroscopic cannula. Half the knots had a static “surgeon’s base” and half a Tennessee slider base. Three shortcut techniques were compared: rethreading, and two types of knot “flipping.” Compared with Tennessee knots, surgeon’s knots had a lower incidence of slippage and catastrophic failure. Shortcut techniques did not affect the properties of the surgeon’s knots but led to increased problems with the Tennessee knots (American Journal of Sports Medicine 2012;40:1572-7, doi:10.1177/0363546512446676).
