Subcuticular suture achieves better esthetics, healing, and similar functional outcomes following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a single center retrospective comparative study
The modified intradermal suturing technique, compared to the traditional intermittent method, significantly reduces suturing time and incidence of suture reactions, enhances scar condition, and improves patient satisfaction with the esthetic outcome of the incision. It proves to be an effective suturing technique for UKA patients.
