Silk Fibroin Closure Eliminates the Incidence of Allergic Contact Dermatitis Compared to Cyanoacrylate Mesh in Total Joint Arthroplasty
There is a very low incidence of wound complications in TJA when using the SF adhesive for wound closure. There was a statistically significant increase in ACD when using the CM adhesive. SF adhesives appear to be a superior wound closure option to consider in patients undergoing TJA.
