Title: outcome of direct anterior total hip arthroplasty complicated by superficial wound dehiscence requiring irrigation and debridement.The purpose of this retrospective study from a prospectively collected, single-institution joint registry was to examine the clinical outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (tha) performed through the direct anterior approach (daa) that required postoperative superficial irrigation and debridement (i&d).A total of 1573 patients (799 male and 774 female; mean age of 64 (19-97) years; mean bmi of 30 (14-60) kg/m2) who underwent tha using daa between august 26, 2010 and july 11, 2018 were included in the study.Either steri-strips with an overlying layer of dermabond (ethicon, somerville, new jersey) or dermabond prineo (ethicon, somerville, new jersey) was placed on the skin surface.Reported complications include superficial wound dehiscence (n=18) requiring superficial irrigation and debridement (i&d) and additional intravenous antibiotics/oral antibiotics in the following patients: (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) male patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) male patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) male patient, (b)(6) female patient, (b)(6) female patient.In conclusion, superficial wound dehiscence requiring superficial i&d after daa tha occurs in about 1%-2% of patients and is more common in female patients and those with higher bmis.Superficial i&d is an effective treatment option for wound dehiscence with a low risk for subsequent pji.Patients can be expected to be satisfied with their tha with high clinical outcomes scores.In high-risk patients undergoing daa tha, extra care should be taken to respect the soft tissues, and when appropriate, a different approach should be utilized to avoid this complication.
