Postoperative swelling: influence of a negative pressure application in comparison to manual lymphatic drainage after total knee arthroplasty—a randomized controlled trial
Our findings show that NP could be a useful device in clinical routine treating postoperative swelling after TKA. Its application is simple and effective for the patient. Particularly given the shortage of healthcare workers and physical therapists, there is a need for supportive measures that NP could fulfil.
