PURPOSE: Surgical knot-tying requires careful selection of the appropriate technique for optimal outcomes; however, evidence is lacking about the common ligation techniques combining square and slip knots (combination knots). This study investigates the strength of a combination knot, compared with other techniques.
METHODS: In this observational cohort study, we assessed the strengths of square, slip-granny, slip-reef, and combination knots using absorbable monofilament sutures, and compared them using ANOVA and a multilevel linear regression analysis. We also assessed the correlation between the number of throws and knot strength using Spearman's correlation analysis.
RESULTS: Among 80 ligatures, ANOVA indicated significant differences in knot strength among the techniques (p < 0.01). Multilevel linear regression showed that a combination knot was stronger than a slip knot (p < 0.01) and comparable to a square knot (p = 0.0721). Secondary analysis indicated that for combination knots, five throws could achieve sufficient knot strength.
CONCLUSION: Combination knots are as strong as square knots and stronger than slip knots, and thus present a reasonable option for surgical ligation.
