Comparison of surgical wound infection and dehiscence following the use of two methods of nylon sutures and skin staples in staples in diabetic mellitus patients undergoing total k... by Haadiyeh Rahbari, Mohammadamin Ahmadi, Mina Amiri Doreh, Samira Mahmoudi, Parvin Ghaemmaghami, Armin Fereidouni

“…However, surgical wound dehiscence revealed a significant correlation with body mass index (BMI) (P-value = 0.044), Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (P-Value = 0.001), and fasting blood glucose (FBS) (P-Value = 0.012) in diabetic mellitus patients. Conclusion The use of the staple technique compared to suture had no difference in the rate of wound opening and infection, but from a clinical point of view, the prevalence of wound opening after TKA in patients with the suture method was higher than that of staples. …”
