NCT03860181

Brief Summary

This is a research study to find out whether wound closure (the process of closing the surgical wound after the procedure is complete) with Dermabond PRINEO Skin Closure System (PRINEO) will be faster and improve wound healing compared to standard closing methods after total shoulder replacement. The PRINEO system involves using running stitches to close the wound, and then taping over the sutures with a sticky film that holds the wound closed.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Comparison of the Total Cost of Wound Closure When Using Dermabond PRINEO Versus the Surgeon's Control.

    Closure cost was calculated by evaluating the cost of wound closure products ($) per patient, plus the cost of the operating room ($) per minute, multiplied by the closure time (minutes) per centimeter of incision length, then multiplied by the average incision length (cm) per patient.

    3 months post-operative

  • Comparing Patient Satisfaction Ratings Between D.PRINEO and Controls

    Patient satisfaction ratings were on a scale from 0-10, where 0 = very dissatisfied and 10 = very satisfied.

    3 months post-operatively

  • Mean Closure Time Per Centimeter of Incision

    This closure time was measured from the first stitch for closure to the application of the wound dressing. The incision length was measured immediately after closure.

    Immediate/at time of surgery

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Median Overall Opinion Score Reported by Operating Surgeon

    Up to 3 months

  • Median Wound Inflammation Score (AIRE) Reported by Operating Physician

    Up to 3 months post surgery

  • Median Scar Assessment (POSAS) by Operating Surgeon

    Up to 3 months post surgery

  • Wound Cosmesis (MHCS) Score by Operating Physician

    Up to 3 months post surgery

  • Differences Between Patient and Surgeon Total POSAS Scores

    3 months post-operatively

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Interventions

This intervention closes incisions after shoulder arthroplasty using subcuticular sutures with Dermabond.The deep layer closure will require interrupted sutures.

Traditional Dermabond + subcuticular sutures - Surgeon 1

This intervention closes incisions after shoulder arthroplasty with metal staples. The deep layer closure will require interrupted sutures,

Metal staples - Surgeon 2

The closure system uses the Dermabond PRINEO (which is similar to clear tape stuck over the wound) placed over running sutures for both the deep and subcuticular layer.

Dermabond PRINEO - Surgeon 1

The closure system uses the Dermabond PRINEO (which is similar to clear tape stuck over the wound) placed over running sutures for both the deep and subcuticular layer.

Dermabond PRINEO - Surgeon 2

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Subjects will be included if: * They are 18 years or older; * They are undergoing primary total shoulder arthroplasty by the principal and co-investigator. * They are willing and have the capacity to provide informed consent; * They expect to continue their post-operative follow up care with their operating surgeons at Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Subjects will be excluded if: * They have a unique, identifying tattoo or skin marking within 2 inches of intended site of surgical incision * They self-report a known hypersensitivity to cyanoacrylate, formaldehyde, benzalkonium chloride, or pressure sensitive adhesive; * They self-report or have a documented prior ipsilateral shoulder arthroplasty or other open ipsilateral shoulder surgery utilizing the delto-pectoral approach; * Their medical record shows that they are HIV positive or otherwise immunocompromised; * Their medical record shows a skin abnormality or dermatological condition which affects skin healing; * They report a personal or family history of significant keloid or significant hypertrophic scar formations, or other problems with wound healing.
