IntroductionIn today's world, high-cost procedures are being examined, and alternative procedures are being developed. In this context, one frequently examined procedure is total knee replacement.PurposeThis study aims to examine the three different closure techniques used in total knee replacement.MethodsThis study is a prospective randomized controlled study. Two hundred participants who underwent total knee replacement surgery, were included in the study. Participants were randomly divided into three groups. Arthrotomy was performed using a medial parapatellar approach with a midline incision. Standard femoral and tibial cuts were followed by the implantation of a Smith and Nephew genesis II implant for all participants. Complications, joint range of motion, pain scores, certain movement degrees, and functional scores were investigated.ResultsPre-op and post-op range of motion, knee society score, oxford knee score, certain movement degree values have shown no significant difference. Visual analogue scale values were different significantly between the groups. There is a statistical difference between the range of motion, knee society score, oxford knee score, certain movement degree and visual analogue scale values in repeated measurements. The most common complication was a hematoma. This was observed most frequently in the continuous vicryl suture group. The closure time in the Barbed group was significantly lower than in the other groups.DiscussionTreatment for total knee replacement is a heavy economic burden. Health systems and hospitals are under pressure. The results obtained in our study show that there is no superiority of one closure technique over the other. |
