About this study

The study , observe the effect of releasing the Tourniquet in total knee replacement surgery before closure in comparison with releasing it after wound closure

The effect was assessed by Hb drop post operative and Hematoma formation ( measured by ultrasound ) as well as the wound complication

Read the detailed description

The study is conducted in tertiary university hospital as a referral hospital for joint arthroplasty , the patients was informed about the study and consent was taken , the same operator , same theater and the same prosthesis company as well as the same radiologist during the study period.

the patient randomly assigned to either group A (Tourniquet release before closure of the wound and hemostasis ensured ) , or a group B ( Tourniquet release after wound closure )

post operative Hb drop was studied between the groups , and each patient underwent ultrasound measurement of the intraarticular hematoma . The wound complication between the groups was also studied .

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Hemoglobin(HG) drop

    The difference in HG drop

    Measured: ( pre-operative and post-operative day 2)

  2. Intra articular Hematoma formation

    the difference in Intra articular ( knee ) Hematoma collection between the groups on day 3 post operative

    Measured: day three post operative hematoma formation
