to tie on/together
Explanation:
"schlingen" means "to loop"
Here THEY are probably identifying the fragments and tying them on/together with the sutures.

... After these sutures had been tied, a suture was ... by looping a suture over it and tying
the suture ... to prevent pulmonary complications from retention of secretions ...

To make things easy for yourself, you could also go with \"attach\", which is obviously what they are doing with the fragments (IMO).

Thanks Derek. I decided to take you up on your suggestion of using "attached", but "tied on" also seemed pretty reasonable. Thanks again - appreciate your help.
