In hemiarthroplasty of the knee, tissue adhesive was used in addition to conventional wound closure techniques with monocryl sutures. Resorbable monocryl sutures were used so that the usual visit to our outpatient department to remove the sutures was no longer necessary. However, we experienced an increase in wound drainage and complications using only monocryl. The addition of a tissue adhesive decreased the post-operative wound complication drastically. This in mind, we started to use tissue adhesive in regular hip and knee arthroplasty as well. With tissue adhesive in addition to conventional staples, we noticed good results. These results however, were subjective and not officially recorded.
