Randomized Control Trial Comparing Effects of Tourniquets on Neurology and Functional Outcomes after Total Knee Arthoplasty
Tourniquet use in TKA reduces intraoperative blood loss and operative time but is associated with a higher risk of nerve-related complications and increased post-operative pain. The findings suggest that avoiding tourniquet use may lead to better overall clinical outcomes and early post-operative ROM.
