Randomised, controlled trials in wound closure following a total hip arthroplasty (THA) are scarce.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Our hypothesis was that skin staples closure would be related to a similar complication rate and operative time as intradermal closure with polypropylene.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>From September 2011 to May 2012, 231 THAs in 219 patients with an average age of 62 years old (range: 21-91) were performed. No differences were observed in both groups according to sex, age, BMI and comorbidities (p = 0,82). Cases were divided into 3 groups according to medical factors that influence wound healing: group 1 (no medical history, 70.5%), group 2 (diabetes, tobacco smokers, obesity, corticosteroids, rheumatoid disease, 25%) and group 3 (organ transplantation, neoplastic patients or 2 or factors of group 2, 4.5%). Once randomised using a computer-generated method, all patients remained within the group to which they were allocated to wound closure with skin staples (Leukosan\u00ae SkinStapler PTW-35, BSN, Germany) that were used in 112 THAs in 105 patients (48%), or continuous 3.0 intradermal non-absorbable polypropylene suture (Prolene\u2122 0, Ethicon Inc. Somerville, New Jersey, USA) in 119 THA's in 115 patients (52%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>A 3.8% wound complication rate was observed in this series, with a 2.1% complication rate for the group that was closed with skin staples and a 1.7% rate for the group with intradermal suture (p = 0.7). All the complications were treated conservatively except for one acute deep infection (0.4%) that was successfully treated with debridement, component retention and intravenous antibiotics. There were no differences in both groups related to operative time or wound length.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In these series of primary elective THAs, skin staples were associated with a similar complication rate to an intradermal closure technique.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5301\/hipint.5000278","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,13]],"date-time":"2015-07-13T05:46:35Z","timestamp":1436766395000},"page":"563-567","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Skin Staples versus Intradermal Wound Closure following Primary Hip Arthroplasty: A Prospective, Randomised Trial Including 231 Cases"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Martin A.","family":"Buttaro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hip Surgery Unit, Institute of Orthopaedics \u201cCarlos E.
