NCT01832272 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 174

Summary

This study is aimed to determine the efficacy and the safety of the tourniquet reinflation after early tourniquet release in total knee arthroplasty, compared to the method of early deflation without reinflation. The investigators hypothesized that the reinflation after early release of the tourniquet would be effective in terms of improved visualization of the surgical field and decreased operation time and blood loss, whereas it would increase tourniquet-related complication due to longer tourniquet-use time.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Reinflation after early tourniquet deflation

The tourniquet is released after cement implant fixation, and then reinflated, once arterial bleeding was controlled
