Official title
Silk Fibroin Versus 2-octyl Cyanoacrylate Mesh a Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate Hypersensitivity Reactions in Shoulder Surgery
Overview
The purpose of this study is to document the incidence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings after open shoulder surgery, to identify differences in clinic utilization for complications related to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings and to collect patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) related to patient comfort and satisfaction for silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings.
Detailed description
Multiple studies have demonstrated allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to the Dermabond PRINEO skin closure system (Ethicon, Sommerville, NJ) that utilizes a 2-octyl cyanoacrylate liquid adhesive with a polyester mesh. This dressing is commonly applied after total hip (THA), total knee (TKA), and total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) as an alternative or adjunct to staples or a subcuticular suture. However, 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh is documented to cause an allergic hypersensitivity reaction in 4-5% of patients. Risk factors include a documented contact allergy to medical adhesives and sensitization to 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh from a prior surgery. While this ACD generally resolves with dressing removal, corticosteroids, and observation, there are reports of severe reactions to Dermabond PRINEO requiring wound debridement and skin grafting. Despite this complication, Dermabond PRINEO is still one of the most commonly used postoperative dressings in orthopedic surgery. A silk fibroin (SYLKE, La Jolla, CA) dressing has recently been developed as an alternative surgical wound dressing. Two retrospective studies have evaluated the silk dressing compared to cyanoacrylate mesh after THA/TKA. Aastroem et al and Moo Young et al both demonstrated a 0% incidence of ACD with the use of a silk dressing. There is currently no additional evidence to support the use of silk fibroin dressings in orthopedic surgery outside of the total hip and knee literature. Our study will be a randomized controlled trial to prospectively evaluate hypersensitivity reactions to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings in open shoulder surgery.
Interventions
- Device Silk fibroin (SYLKE)
SYLKE dressing will be placed in a sealed envelope, which will be opened by the operative surgeon during wound closure and placed on the closed wound. 2 week and 6 week postoperative appointments will include a standard postoperative examination that will evaluate and remove the dressing, as well as examine and document a physical examination of the surgical wound. - Device 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh (Dermabond PRINEO)
Dermabond PRINEO dressing will be placed in a sealed envelope, which will be opened by the operative surgeon during wound closure and placed on the closed wound. 2 week and 6 week postoperative appointments will include a standard postoperative examination that will evaluate and remove the dressing, as well as examine and document a physical examination of the surgical wound.
Primary outcome measures
- Number of participants with allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to dressings as assessed by clinical examination [Time frame: at the time of dressing removal, which is about 10-14 days after the operation]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Clinic utilization will be defined as the total number of additional patient communications or visits regarding dressings or wound complications [Time frame: 6 weeks after the operation]
- Patients comfort as assessed by question 6 on the wound experience questionnaire [Time frame: 2 weeks after the operation]
- Patients satisfaction as assessed by question 7 on the wound experience questionnaire [Time frame: 2 weeks after the operation]
