Abstract Summary
Suture anchors are designed for use with arthroscopic techniques. In this study, finite element analysis was used to compare the stress distribution in 24 different designs of suture anchors. The results of von-Mises stress show that the optimal design reduces 14.7% von-Mises stress of a former design during pull-out testing. In conclusion, the optimal design will provide greater mechanical strength for better fixation.
