Clinical Efficacy of Self-adhesive Silicone Gel Waterproof Dressings Versus Conventional Dressings in the Healing of Incisions After Total Joint Arthroplasty
Sponsor: First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University
Summary
The efficacy of using self-adhesive silicone gel waterproof dressings versus conventional gauze dressings for recovery after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) remains unclear. In our study, we conducted a prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare these two types of dressings. Patients were divided into two groups following TJA, and we collected primary outcome measures such as skin infection rate and re-operation rate. Additionally, we gathered blood inflammatory indicators, including C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), to evaluate the effectiveness of the two treatments. Finally, we perform one year follow up including REEDA score, MSS score to evaluate the recovery of the skin.
