NCT01470482 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE3 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Although a tourniquet may reduce bleeding during total knee replacement (TKA), and thereby improve fixation, it might also cause complications. Migration as measured by RadioStereometric Analysis (RSA) can predict future loosening. We will investigate if the use of a tourniquet influences fixation measured with RSA.
