Joint replacement<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a surgical procedure used to remove and\u00a0replace<\/strong>\u00a0an arthritic or damaged\u00a0joint<\/strong>\u00a0with an artificial\u00a0joint<\/strong>, called a prosthesis. Total\u00a0<\/a>joint<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0surgery<\/a> is one of the most effective treatment options for chronic and debilitating\u00a0knee<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0hip<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>pain that has not responded to other therapies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An appropriate skin closure during surgery <\/a>protects the underlying structures from external contamination and leads to rapid healing with an acceptable scar. With the trend towards accelerated rehabilitation, the method of skin closure has become increasingly important in orthopedic surgery<\/a>. An ideal suturing technique should give functional and cosmetic outcomes to the patient. The technique should reduce the tissue tension to prevent wound gaping, reduce dead space to the minimum possible, have appropriate wound placement in relation to tension lines, and minimize knot-related complications. The surgical scar evaluation is a fundamental measure to assess the functional outcome of the technique used for wound closure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
