Summary

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. The main advantages of TKA are to relieve the pain of the knee, improve the knee function, restore lower limb alignment, and improve the quality of life for patients. During TKA, some surgeons prefer using a scalpel while others using electrocautery to expose the articular cavity. Whether the use of scalpel can lead to better and faster recovery after the primary TKA is still controversial.

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of using the scalpel and the electrocautery in primary TKA
