Effect of tourniquet use on blood loss, pain, functional recovery, and complications in robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty: a prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial.
Ya-Hao LaiHong XuQiang SuXu-Feng WanMing-Cheng YuanZong-Ke ZhouPublished in: Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research (2022)
Tourniquet use during robot-assisted TKA does not reduce total blood loss, and it appears to increase postoperative pain, aggravate muscle injury, and prolong postoperative recovery. Trial registration ChiCTR, ChiCTR2100041800. Registered 5 January 2021, http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx .
