Summary

This randomized controlled trial is designed to determine the effect of suction drain usage on the reduction of postoperative swelling following total knee replacement. Furthermore, this study will determine the relationship between postoperative swelling and quadriceps muscle function. This study will be performed in a cohort of patients undergoing bilateral total knee replacement and the suction intra-articular drain will be randomized to one of the two operative knees prior to surgery.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Drain

One randomized knee will be assigned to receive an intra-articular drain procedure following bilateral total knee arthroplasty. The drain will be removed 24 hours post-operatively. The patient will be blinded to fluid output from intra-articular drain.

PROCEDURE

No Drain

The contralateral knee will be assigned to a placebo drain procedure following bilateral total knee arthroplasty. This will blind the patient as to which knee contains the functioning intra-articular drain. A non-suction/ non-functional subcutaneous drain will act as the placebo drain. This drain will not output any fluid and will also be removed 24 hours after post-operatively.
