Barbed sutures reduce arthrotomy closure duration and suture utilisation compared to interrupted conventional sutures for primary total hip arthroplasty: a randomised controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that barbed suture utilisation may be faster and more resource efficient than use of standard of care sutures for arthrotomy closure in THA. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03285555.
