The Use of Compression Bandages in Total Knee Replacement Surgery

NCT02253680 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The use of compression bandages in elective orthopaedic knee surgery is well regarded, however, there is a lack of robust, well-designed evidence to support this.

The aim is to determine the feasibility of conducting a randomised control trial comparing the use of a compression bandage worn post-operatively for 24 hours after elective total knee replacement, compared to standard practice (wool and crepe, non-compressive dressing).
