Efficacy of continuous local cryotherapy following total hip arthroplasty.

These results support the potential benefit of cryotherapy for the reduction of swelling, and patient satisfaction during postoperative recovery of patients undergoing THA, even in the presence of periarticular injection and tranexamic acid administration for the prevention of postoperative pain and bleeding. Postoperative cryotherapy is a potentially simple, noninvasive, and relatively inexpensive option for post-THA management.
