CORR Insights®: Tissue Adhesive for Wound Closure Reduces Immediate Postoperative Wound Dressing Changes After Primary TKA: A Randomized Controlled Study in Simultaneous Bilateral TKA

摘要

Postoperative wound drainage is a major concern among orthopaedic surgeons as it is a potential precursor to infection [7]. Other specialties have used tissue adhesives to decrease drainage [2], but few trials have addressed this technique in orthopaedics [4, 8]. Additionally, this method may carry some risk, as allergic contact dermatitis and pruritus have been reported in association with its use [3, 5].
