U.S., Aug. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07749495) titled 'Skin Closure in Prosthetic Joint Surgery: Comparative Evaluation of the "Barbed Sutures and Skin Glue" Technique (Cica-Pro)' on May 18.
Brief Summary: The choice of skin closure (staples vs. monofilament sutures vs. barbed sutures/adhesive) is critical for wound healing quality in prosthetic surgery (hip and knee). The combination of barbed sutures (e.g., Stratafix) and skin glue (e.g., Dermabond) is promising (superior cosmetic outcome, no suture removal, antimicrobial barrier) but has been poorly evaluated prospectively and comparatively in orthopaedics, which justifies this study. The primary objective is to compare the wound heal...
