Comparison between Zip-Type Skin Closure Device and Staple for Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Meta-Analysis.


ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare the efficacy and safety of zip-type skin closure device (SCD) and staple in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods

Potential academic articles were identified from PubMed, Springer, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane Library from the inception of electronic databases to July 2020. The statistical analyses were performed with RevMan 5.1.

Results

One randomized controlled trial (RCT) and 5 non-RCTs met the inclusion criteria. Present meta-analysis reveals that SCD is associated with lower wound pain score, scar score, and readmission compared with a staple. No significant differences are identified in terms of wound total complications, dehiscence, blisters, and infection.

Conclusions

Comparing with a staple, zip-type SCD is a less painful skin closure method with fewer medical cost undergoing TKA.
