Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy Aug 31, 2017
Na YG, et al. – This study investigated the impact on surgical field visualization and operative time of reinflation of the tourniquet after its early release in TKA compared to early release alone. Safety of tourniquet reinflation after its early release was also examined, with respect to post–operative blood loss, post–operative pain and other tourniquet–related complications. As per findings, for attaining an improved surgical field visualization during TKA, reinflation of tourniquet represents a safe alternative to its early release after deflation.
