Bernal-Fortich LD, et al. - Authors compared postoperative bleeding, pain, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) when a total synovectomy (TS) is performed and when it is not. They measured the difference in pre and postoperative haemoglobin and postoperative pain using visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 24 and 48 h post-surgery. Using the SF-12V2 questionnaire, HRQOL was measured prior to surgery and at 1 year. Experts did not note a relevant reduction in postoperative pain or an improvement in HRQOL, and an increase in the amount of bleeding as a result of performing a TS in TKA in patients with osteoarthrosis
