NCT ID NCT05074212
First seen Jun 13, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two methods for healing skin wounds below the knee after surgery: closing the wound with stitches (complex linear closure) or letting it heal naturally (second intention). The goal was to see which method gives a better-looking scar and improves quality of life. One person took part, and the results will help doctors choose the best approach for future patients.
