Summary

Wound complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can arise from many patient-specific factors, such as vascular or immune-related medical conditions, obesity, and smoking, among others. The development of early wound complications can lead to increased length of hospital stay and more serious complications, including deep infection and major subsequent surgery. However, there are modifiable variables that could affect the risk of getting wound complications, such as the closure technique. This study aims to analyze the difference in rates of wound complications using two different closure techniques in primary TKA.

Conditions

• Total Knee Replacement
• Wound Complication

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Skin closure using skin adhesive	Wound closure using subcuticular running 3-0 monocryl sutures with skin adhesive
PROCEDURE	Skin closure without skin adhesive	Wound closure using subcuticular running 3-0 monocryl sutures without skin adhesive
