Skin closure after total hip replacement: a randomised controlled trial of skin adhesive versus surgical staples.
We undertook a randomised controlled trial to compare the outcomes of skin adhesive and staples for skin closure in total hip replacement. The primary outcome was the cosmetic appearance of the scar at three months using a surgeon-rated visual analogue scale. In all, 90 patients were randomised to skin closure using either skin adhesive (n = 45) or staples (n = 45). Data on demographics, surgic...
متن کاملA randomised controlled trial comparing skin closure in total knee arthroplasty in the same knee: nylon sutures versus skin staples
OBJECTIVES Nylon sutures and skin staples are used commonly in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgical wound closure. However, there is no study that compares the wound healing efficacy and patient satisfaction scores of both techniques in the same knee. METHODS We randomised 70 patients who underwent primary TKA into two groups. In one group of 34 patients, the skin at the upper half of the w...
متن کاملSutures versus staples for wound closure in orthopaedic surgery: a pilot randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND In the spectrum of surgical decision-making, wound closure material is often an afterthought. However, the findings of a recent meta-analysis suggest that the rate of surgical site infections (SSIs) is increased by using staples to close surgical wounds. Less clear is the effect of closure material on the incidence of non-infectious wound complications.The aim of this study was to co...
متن کاملSutures versus staples for wound closure in orthopaedic surgery: a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND A recently published meta-analysis comparing metallic staples to sutures in orthopaedic procedures revealed three fold increase in risk for infection in stapled wounds. The studies included in the meta-analysis are at risk of bias due to experimental design limitations. A large randomized controlled trial is proposed to direct orthopaedic surgeons in their choice of wound closure mat...
متن کاملDermabond wound closure in primary hip arthroplasty.
Cyanoacrylate glues have been used in various surgical specialties for primary wound closure or as a supplement to other methods. We assessed the overall results and safety of this technique following primary hip arthroplasty. Ninety-three patients undergoing primary total hip replacement were studied. The surgical wound had been closed with subcuticular vicryl followed by the application of to...
