Abstract
The viability of three incisions for knee arthroplasty were analysed by transcutaneous estimation of the skin oxygen tension. Wound viability was found to be significantly reduced following knee arthroplasty. The lateral wound edge is more hypoxic than the medial, but there were no significant differences between the three incisions.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
