Article Synopsis
- The study compared outcomes of 180 total knee arthroplasty patients, split into two groups: 120 without ischemia and 60 with ischemia, with a focus on immediate postoperative results like pain, bleeding, and hemoglobin levels.
- Patients without ischemia reported better pain control, while those with ischemia experienced less intraoperative bleeding and a smaller hemoglobin differential.
- Despite these differences, the requirement for blood transfusions was not significantly affected by the use of ischemia, suggesting individualized surgeon preference in its application may be advisable.
