Skin Reactions Following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty With an Adhesive Superficial Closure System: A Case Series.

Background: We investigated a skin adhesive closure device consisting of a self-adhesive polyester mesh placed over the surgical incision, followed by a liquid adhesive that is spread over the mesh and surrounding the skin. It is intended to reduce wound closure times, scarring, and skin complications associated with traditional closure with sutures or staples. The aim of this study was to report on skin reactions in patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the skin adhesive closure system.

Atypical Presentation of Periprosthetic Joint Infection With Pseudotumor With a Modular-Neck Stem Implant.

A 64-year-old male with a recalled modular-neck stem implant presented with a soft tissue mass in the lateral thigh. Preoperative testing revealed no signs of infection by the 2018 periprosthetic joint infection criteria. MRI revealed a large soft tissue mass around the implant consistent with a pseudotumor, and we performed revision surgery of the femoral component for trunnionosis.
