Primary Suture of Tendons.—The material employed for SUTURE OF TENDONS. 571 sutures may be silk, silkworm-gut, catgut, or kangaroo-tendon, and one or more sutures should be used, beingpassed through the substance of the ends of the tendonand secured by tying; the divided sheath of the tendon,if possible, should be brought together by fine silk sutures(Fig. 481). Very marked retraction of the ends of thetendon is liable to occur, and a considerable dissection isoften required to bring them into view. Fig. Suture passed through the substance of the ends of a divided tendon. When there is difficulty in bringing the ends of thetendon together, and the sutures are apt to cut out, theform of suture shown in Fig. 482 may be employed. Fig. 482.
