hi saw your comments about staples??? I had both knees replaced and never had staples. Just steri strips across the knee. Healed great and a very thin scar line. Interesting.

Warning! Graphic and yucky... I’m sure I will have a scar but already had 3 smaller ones on the same knee when they removed cartilage in the 70s. They stapled the incision then put Dermabond (?) over the staples and put a super sticky thick surgical bandage over it.
