Barbed suture has been associated with improved closure efficiency and safety in TKA in prior studies. We performed a multicenter randomized controlled trial to determine the efficiency and safety of this technology in TKA. We prospectively randomized 411 patients undergoing primary TKA to either barbed running (n=191) or knotted interrupted suture closure (n=203). Closure time was measured intra-operatively. Cost analysis was based on suture and operating room time costs. Mean closure time was shorter with barbed suture (9.8 vs. 14.5 min, p
