Summary
This study looks at 600 people having hip or knee replacement surgery to compare three ways of closing the surgical wound: a special adhesive dressing, skin glue, or suture strips. The goal is to see which method causes the fewest allergic skin reactions and gives the best-looking scar. Participants will take photos of their incision at home and at follow-up visits over three months.
