Non-drainage Offers Faster Proprioceptive and Functional Recovery, and More Clinical Benefits for Patients following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Compared to Drainage
Abstract:Background Although a non-drainage procedure following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is becoming more acceptable in enhanced recovery after surgery, postoperative drainage is still
commonly used in TKA surgeries. This study aimed to compare the non-drainage to the drainage during the early postoperative stage regarding proprioceptive and functional recovery, and
postoperative outcomes of TKA patients.
