Summary

Although, suction drainage is routinely used in orthopedic clinical practice, there are still no precise guidelines on its use in total joint arthroplasty, particularly in total as well as unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. In fact, drain use is likely associated to an increased risk of blood transfusion due to the lack of tamponade effect, as well as a higher infection rate. Furthermore, the drain itself could interfere with knee mobilization, delaying its functional recovery. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the real usefulness of suction drainage in perioperative bleeding control in the management of total as well as unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
