Use of closed incisional negative pressure wound therapy after revision total hip and knee arthroplasty in patients at high risk for infection: A prospective, randomized clinical trial
Journal of Arthroplasty Dec 14, 2018
Newman JM, et al. - Authors conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial to compare the use of closed incisional negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) with our standard of care dressing in revision arthroplasty patients who were at high risk to develop wound complications. They prospectively randomized a total of 160 patients undergoing elective revision arthroplasty to receive either ciNPWT or a silver-impregnated occlusive dressing after surgery in a single institution. Findings suggested the probability of ciNPWT to decrease the rate of postoperative wound complications in patients who are at an increased risk of such wound issues after revision arthroplasty.
