Abstract
The ideal method for wound closure remains an enigma. This paper presents a review and the authors' experience of the use of skin staples in podiatric surgery. Little has been written on this topic in the podiatric literature. Skin staples have been shown to provide desirable cosmetic results, a decreased incidence of infection, and a decrease in overall cost as compared with suture.
