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 کاملA randomised controlled trial comparing skin closure in total knee arthroplasty in the same knee: nylon sutures versus skin staples

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...
