Modern Perioperative Pain Management Strategies to Minimize Opioids after Total Knee Arthroplasty
2023, Orthopedic Clinics of North AmericaDoes the Use of a Tourniquet Influence Outcomes in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial
2021, Journal of ArthroplastyEffect of Different Tourniquet Pressure on Postoperative Pain and Complications After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial
2021, Journal of ArthroplastyCitation Excerpt :This result is consistent with the study of Worland et al., who compared high tourniquet pressure (350 mm Hg) vs low tourniquet pressure (SBP + 100 mm Hg, mean 230 mm Hg) in simultaneous bilateral TKA. They found that the high tourniquet pressure group had more thigh pain on postoperative days 1-3 but not at 6 weeks compared to the low tourniquet pressure group [24]. Postoperative limb swelling measured in our study showed no difference in all 3 groups, and our results concur with those of Alexandersson et al [25] who randomly compared tourniquet vs no tourniquet in TKA and found no differences in knee swelling on the first and third postoperative days and at 12 weeks.
The Effect of Tranexamic Acid and Tourniquet Use on Tibial Cement Penetration in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasties
2020, Arthroplasty TodayCitation Excerpt :In our day, intensive effort is put to reduce bleeding with minimum side effects in TKA surgery. Although the widely used tourniquet application reduces the perioperative hemorrhage, it causes increased postoperative and total blood loss, venous thromboembolic problems, and bad functional knee scores in the early period [15,16]. On the other hand, antifibrinolytic agents such as tranexamic acid (TXA), which are becoming more widely used, reduce blood loss and avoid tourniquet-induced morbidities [17].
