Study Summary
This pilot study is designed to assess the feasibility of comparing skin closure methods - sutures versus staples - and subsequent rates of surgical site infection following open reduction and internal fixation surgery for orthopaedic trauma injuries. The primary objectives are to determine if enrollment, randomization, and compliance are feasible and to refine data collection methods. Patients =18 years of age with closed fractures of the tibial plateau, tibial pilon, patella, and distal femur presenting within 3 weeks of injury undergoing definitive treatment of their fracture will be approached for participation. If enrolled, they will be randomized to having their surgical wound closed with either nylon sutures or metallic staples. Patient follow up will be standard of care besides answering PROMIS surveys.
