Tourniquet use in total knee replacement does not improve fixation, but appears to reduce final range of motion: A randomized RSA study involving 50 patients

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although a tourniquet may reduce bleeding during total knee replacement (TKA), and thereby possibly improve fixation, it might also cause complications. Migration as measured by radiostereometric analysis (RSA) can predict future loosening. We investigated whether the use of...
