Patients were allocated to either a traditional suture group or a modified suture group, with 40 patients in each group. The cohort consisted of 32 males and 48 females, with a mean age of 67.39\u202f\u00b1\u202f6.33\u202fyears (range 57\u201379) and a mean disease duration of 4.44\u202f\u00b1\u202f1.37\u202fyears (range 1\u20138). Wound healing grade, Hollander Wound Evaluation Score (HWES), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were compared 2\u202fweeks post-surgery, while the Patient Scar Assessment Score (PSAS), Observer Scar Assessment Score (OSAS), Range of Motion (ROM), and Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score (HSS) were assessed 12\u202fweeks post-surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The modified suture group showed a significant reduction in suture time, number of suture reactions, and postoperative hospital stay compared to the traditional group (6.20 vs. 3.65\u202fmin, 9 vs. 2, 6.53 vs. 5.38\u202fdays; all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.05). Although there were fewer postoperative dressing changes, incidences of poor incision alignment, and complications in the modified group, these differences were not statistically significant (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;gt;\u202f0.05). Two weeks post-surgery, the modified group exhibited improved HWES scores. At 12\u202fweeks, the modified group demonstrated superior PSAS and OSAS scores (3.38 vs. 4.68, 29.83 vs. 22.40, 23.08 vs. 14.93, all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.05). The VAS pain score, ROM, and HSS improved significantly in both groups compared to preoperative values (1.68 vs. 4.33, 116.43 vs. 100.53, 89.23 vs. 52.58 for the modified group, and 1.55 vs. 4.20, 116.38 vs. 101.00, 89.30 vs. 51.65 for the traditional group; all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.05).
