Background The tourniquet is a common medical instrument used in total knee arthroplasty
(TKA). However, there has always been a debate about the use of a tourniquet and there is …

Purpose Although a tourniquet can effectively control intraoperative blood loss and offer
clear surgical field in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), its optimal usage has been controversial …

Background: It is a randomized study to compare cement penetration on x-rays after total
knee arthroplasty (TKA) among 3 different ways to use tourniquets; application during the …

Purpose Determination of the effect of tourniquet use in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on
thigh and quadriceps muscle volume using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods A …

Background: For total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the tourniquet is routinely employed for better
visualization, less blood loss, and easier cementation. However, the time to release …

During the last ten years, greater attention has been given to the management of peri-
operative blood loss after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), as it is a modifiable outcome that has …

Background This study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of topical versus
intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing blood loss in primary total knee arthroplasty …

Purpose Advantages of tourniquet use in TKA include benefits for surgeons and patients,
varying from a bloodless operation site to a reduced intervention time. The time under …

Background Blood loss is a major concern in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) along with
postoperative knee function. The present study explores the impact of tourniquet (T) and …

Purpose Evidence exists that tourniquet use leads to increased cement penetration in total
knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to decreased blood and fat in the bone during cementation. The …
