Krackow and Cohn technique for passing tendon or fascia through hole in bone. A, Suture is wrapped in crisscross fashion around the distal end of the tendon or fascia and is tied in a knot, leaving the ends of the suture long. B, A second suture is wrapped in similar fashion but out of phase with the first suture. C, A Chinese finger-trap suture fits tightly around the tendon or fascia and allows it to enter the hole without difficulty.
