Advantages Of Skin Closure With Staples In Orthopedic Surgery At Mardan Medical Complex

Abstract

Background: Wound closure is a fundamental aspect of surgery that impacts recovery, cosmetic outcomes, and postoperative complications. Among various closure techniques, sutures and staples are widely used, each with distinct advantages and limitations. Sutures offer precision and adaptability,while staples are valued for faster application and reduced surgical time. Despite their widespread use, comparative studies evaluating their effectiveness in orthopedic surgeries remain limited. Previous research highlights variability in outcomes such as infection rates, wound healing, and patient satisfaction across surgical settings, emphasizing the need for specialty-specific data. This study focuses on orthopedic wound closure, aiming to provide evidence-based insights for optimizing patient care.
