Documented Contact Allergy Impacts Risk for Surgical Adhesive-Associated Contact Dermatitis after Shoulder Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to report on the incidence and risk factors for allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in patients who received Prineo after total shoulder arthroplasty (SA).

Methods

A retrospective case-control study was conducted to investigate patients who experienced ACD after having SA by a single surgeon during a defined period when Prineo was routinely used as an adjunct to wound closure. Known risk factors for ACD (e.g., history of contact dermatitis, smoking) were analyzed for association development of Prineo-associated ACD using Fisher exact and Wilcoxon rank sum tests.

Results

From June 2019 through July 2021, 236 consecutive patients were identified as having Prineo applied after SA. Nine cases of Prineo-ACD (3.8%) were documented, whereas
