Study Summary

This trial aims to compare two closure techniques for knee surgery to see which one affects wound complications. Modifiable factors can reduce the risk of complications.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who are having their first total knee replacement through a midline approach. It's not for those with past knee surgeries, cancer or trauma-related replacements, immune or bleeding disorders, severe obesity (BMI ≥ 40), uncontrolled diabetes (Hgb A1c > 8), or allergies to skin adhesives.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two ways of closing the skin after knee surgery: one using a skin adhesive and the other without it. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer wound complications after the operation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include allergic reactions to the adhesive, infection at the wound site, delayed healing, and discomfort at the closure area. Each patient might experience these differently.
