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.
