A Meta-Analysis of Biomechanical Studies for Suture Button Pullout Versus Suture Anchor Repair of Flexor Digitorum Profundus Avulsions

There is no current consensus on which of the two most common flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) avulsion repair constructs, via suture button pullout (SBP) or suture anchor (SA), is biomechanically superior. Our purpose was to compare these repair methods via systematic review and meta-analysis of available literature.
