| Abstract |
|
The aim of this study is to compare the results (effectiveness) between the group
used closed suction drainage and the group used conventional drainage with specific technique
during 48 hours after total knee arthroplasty. We analyzed the thigh circumference; ecchymosis;
wound infection; transfusion amount; knee score and range of motion in 100 cases (100 patients)
underwent total knee replacement from October 2004 to April 2008 in retrospectively. Fifty cases
of them (group I) were inserted hemo vac and the other group (group II) were inserted
conventional drain (Penrose drain). The average thigh circumference in group I was 40.6 cm
(preoperative); and 44.6 cm (postoperative); in group II was 40.3 cm (preoperative) and 44.8 cm
(postoperative). Group I was more higher than Group II in incidence of ecchymosis (Group I:50%
vs Group II:24%). However; the final result of knee score and range of motion of knee joint were
not affected significantly by nonuse of closed suction drainage. There were no infection sign in
both groups. This clinical comparision of closed suction drainage group and conventional drainage
group after total knee arthroplasty was not significantly different in wound healing; clinical and
rehabilitation course. The short term use of conventional drainage (Penrose drain) with specific
technique can be one of useful method after primary total knee arthroplasty. |
