The use of tourniquet during total knee replacement in patients with and without popliteal artery calcification

Abstract: ObjectiveIdentify the clinical and surgical complications associated with the use of a tourniquet in total knee arthroplasty in patients with or without calcification of the popliteal artery.MethodsThe study was performed retrospectively, analyzing 58 patients with calcification of the popliteal artery and 57 patients as a control group.ResultsThe case group patients were significantly older than patients in the control group; however, this had no impact on the clinical outcome in the analyzed period.There wer… Show more

“…They concluded that tourniquets can be used safely in patients with arterial calcifications who undergo TKA. Vivacqua et al 4) found that there were no differences in the rates of postoperative complications between a group of 58 patients with arterial calcifications and a control group without calcification. They demonstrated that performing TKA with the help of a tourniquet is a useful method that does not increase the surgical risk.…”

“…26) There are also possible complications associated with the use of tourniquets on calcified arteries, including rupture of the arterial wall, aneurysm formation, and continuous intraoperative bleeding due to ineffective arterial occlusion. 4) Kobayashi et al 27) reported that the cause of arterial occlusion was thrombosis initiated by a plaque disruption in the popliteal artery during manipulation of the knee. They recommended that in patients with vascular calcifications around the knee or in the abdomen, TKA should be performed without a tourniquet.…”

“…La ocurrencia de complicaciones del RTR oscila entre 11% y 20,8% 5 y las más comunes son infección del sitio operatorio, tromboembolismo venoso, lesión neurovascular, fracturas periprotésicas, lesión del mecanismo extensor y rigidez articular. 4,5,14 Por el contrario, las complicaciones arteriales en el posoperatorio de RTR son poco comunes (0,03-0,5%) e incluyen isquemia aguda, trombosis de la arteria poplítea y aneurismas. 15 En este estudio, se encontró una baja frecuencia de complicaciones (2,54%), siendo las más comunes los problemas relacionados con la herida como dehiscencia, drenaje e infección superficial del sitio operatorio.…”

“…3,4 El objetivo del RTR primario es aliviar el dolor, alinear mecánicamente la extremidad y mejorar la calidad de vida en los pacientes; además, el porcentaje de resultados buenos y excelentes a largo plazo supera el 90% de los casos. 5 Sin embargo, aproximadamente 90% de los RTR se realizan con torniquete neumático, ya que este disminuye la dificultad técnica del procedimiento, permitiendo visualizar mejor el campo quirúrgico y disminuir la pérdida de sangre. 6 Asimismo, en casos en los que se usan prótesis cementadas, el RTR con torniquete neumático mejora la interdigitación del cemento sobre el hueso, incrementando la fijación de los componentes, lo cual alarga la vida útil de la prótesis.…”
