Results of patients who were followed up with special dressings without the use of drains after primary total knee arthroplasty
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to compare the clinical and functional results of patients who used drains with those who used compressive dressings without drains after tourniquetless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for primary gonarthrosis.
Methods: Between January 2019 and June 2023, 316 patients who underwent total knee replacements were evaluated retrospectively. After excluding patients who used tourniquets, 120 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Postoperative hemoglobin changes, early–late postoperative edema, pain, range of motion (ROM), clinical scores, and functional outcomes were evaluated and compared in 68 patients (18 males and 50 females) and 52 patients (11 males and 41 females).
Results: There was no significant difference in preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin values, 6th week Knee Society Score (KSS)–knee, and KSS-functional scores between patients with and without drains (p > 0.05). Although there was a statistically significant difference in ROM on the first postoperative day, there was no statistically significant difference in the postoperative second-week ROM. There was a significant difference in Day 1 and 3 visual analog scale (VAS) scores between patients with and without drains (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, using a drain after primary TKA is unnecessary. Although the clinical results of patients without a drain after total knee arthroplasty are similar to those with a drain, patients can be treated and followed up with compressive dressings without a drain.

Primer total diz artroplastisi sonrası dren kullanılmadan özellikli kompressif pansumanla takip edilen hastaların sonuçları
Abstract
Amaç: Çalışmamızda primer gonartroz nedeniyle, turnikesiz total diz artroplastisi (TDA) yapılan hastalarda, dren kullanılan hasta grubuyla dren kullanılmayıp kompresif pansuman yapılan hasta grubunu klinik ve fonksiyonel olarak karşılaştırmayı amaçladık.
Gereç Yöntem: 2019-Ocak ile 2023-Haziran tarihleri arasında total diz protezi gerçekleştirilen 316 hasta retospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Turnike kullanımı olan hastaların çalışma dışı bırakılması sonrasında dahil edilme kriterlerini içeren 120 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Dren kullanılan 68 hasta (18 erkek,50 kadın) ile dren kullanılmayan 52 hastanın (11 erkek, 41 kadın) post-operatif hemoglobin değişiklikleri, cerrahi sonrası erken dönem ödemleri, ağrı durumları, hareket açıklıkları, klinik skorları ve fonskiyonel sonuçları değerlendirilerek birbiri ile karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Dren kullanımı olmayan hastalar dren kullanılan hastalarla karşılaştırıldığında hastaların pre-operatif ve post-operatif dönem hemoglobin değerlerinde, 6. hafta Knee Society Score (KSS)-diz ve KSS-fonksiyonel skorlarında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı görüldü. (p>0.05) Post-operatif 1.gün range of motion (ROM)’larında istatistiksel olara anlamlı fark olmakla beraber post op 2.hafta ROM’ları arasında istatistiksel olarak bir fark gözlenmedi. Dren kullanılmayan hastaların 1.gün ve 3.gün Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) skorlarında dren kullanılanlara göre anlamlı fark olduğu izlendi. (p <0.001)
Sonuç: Bu çalışmayla, primer TDA sonrası dren kullanımının mutlak gereklilik olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır, Total diz artroplastisi sonrası dren kullanılmayan hastaların klinik sonuçları dren kullanılanlarla benzer olmakla beraber dren kullanılmadan kompressif pansuman yapılarak, hastaların tedavisi ve takibi mümkündür.
