Characterizing patient factors, perioperative interventions, and outcomes associated with inpatients falls after total knee arthroplasty.

Patients who fell had a longer LOS and higher revision rate postoperatively. Rates of inpatient falls were comparable regardless of tourniquet and/or ACB use. Concern for inpatient falls should not influence surgeons when considering the use of tourniquets and/or ACBs, though well-designed, large-volume, prospective randomized studies are warranted to better understand this relationship.
