The purpose of the research study is to determine the efficacy and efficiency of two tendon repair techniques: the CoNextions tendon repair device vs a standard of care, L-O (Lew-Omar), suture repair technique. The investigators will also determine if there are similar or different rates of complications and failures via both objective and subjective measures.
To determine the tendon failure/rupture rate of two tendon repair techniques: the CoNextions tendon repair device vs a standard of care suture repair technique. The investigators will determine if there are similar or different rates of complications and failures (both intraoperatively and at 2-week, 6-week, 3-month, and 6-month post-operative intervals).
