Observation on the efficacy of skin closure by skin staplers in extended L-shaped incisions for calcaneal fractures

The use of skin staplers for wound closure resulted in healing outcomes that showed no statistically significant differences from those achieved with the Allgower-Donati suturing technique in extended L-shaped incisions for calcaneal fractures. Importantly, the skin stapler method significantly reduces wound closure time (P < 0.05), which can lead to shorter overall surgical durations and a decreased risk of wound infections.
