Summary

Wound complications can be devastating following total joint arthroplasty, resulting in an increased practice burden in the form of more frequent follow ups, increased clinic visits potential for wound dehiscence, superficial infection and deep infection with possible return to the operating room and revision surgery. Several dressing options are currently on the market designed to minimize wound complications in addition to traditional dressings, including negative pressure dressing, antimicrobial dressing, occlusive dressings, and/or skin adhesives. Prineo dressing (2-octyl cyanoacrylate adhesive (Dermabond) and n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate adhesive) has increased in popularity as a dressing option used by joint arthroplasty surgeons. There is a well-documented adverse allergic response with these dressings resulting in peri-incisional erythema, urticaria, and/or an eczematous skin reaction. Recently, Mayman et al reported a rate of 1-1.5%, suggesting a possible rising incidence of ACD attributable to increased utilization of the specific dressing and sensitization.

To our knowledge, no prospective trial has compared the rates of adverse allergic reactions in Prineo naive patients to patients who have undergone previous total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and received Prineo dressings in the past. The study team will utilize a prospective controlled study design to assess the rate of adverse allergic reactions in patients naive to Prineo versus those with previous exposure. The study team will assess rates of allergic reactions at one week post-op and at their first post-op clinic visit, 2 to 3 weeks post-op, tracking rates of allergic reactions as well as severity, the use of post-operative antibiotics, work up for prosthetic joint infection, return to the operating room, surgical site infection, confirmed prosthetic joint infection and stiffness requiring manipulation under anesthesia.

  • Allergic Reaction
  • Wound Complication

Interventions

DEVICE

Prineo dressing

Prineo dressing is a common dressing option used in Joint Arthroplasty surgery. It is an adhesive dressing growing in popularity that is thought to lead to reinforced tension across the wound while also decreasing the skin edge ischemia.
