Clinical outcomes of modified intradermal vs. traditional intermittent suture technique in total knee arthroplasty: a single-center retrospective study
The modified intradermal suturing technique was associated with significant improvements in scar condition and patient satisfaction with the aesthetic outcome of the incision. It was associated with shorter suturing time, lower incidence of suture reactions, and shorter postoperative hospitalization time compared with the traditional intermittent method.
