Study Summary

This trial compares two wound closure techniques to see which one is better for hip replacement surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who are having their first total hip replacement through the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA). It's not for those with previous hip surgeries, cancer or trauma-related replacements, uncontrolled diabetes (Hgb A1c >8), allergies to skin adhesives, or a BMI of 40 or higher.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two ways to close surgical wounds in patients getting a hip replacement. One method uses stitches and two layers of skin glue; the other just uses stitches without the glue. The goal is to see which leads to fewer wound complications.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the wound site such as redness, swelling, pain, infection risk increase due to closure technique failure, and possible allergic reactions in those sensitive to materials used.
