Tourniquet use in total knee arthroplasty and the risk of infection: a meta‐analysis of randomised controlled trials

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2022
Purpose The intra‐operative use of tourniquets during Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is common practice. The advantages of tourniquet use include decreased operating time and the creation of a bloodless visualisation field.

A comparison of thrombosis in total knee arthroplasty with and without a tourniquet: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021
Background Tourniquets are widely used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but the issue of their safety remains controversial. Previous studies have focused on TKA blood loss, duration of surgery, and hemostatic drugs.

Comparing Minor Hand Procedures Performed with or without the Use of a Tourniquet: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2021
Background:. Carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger are two of the most common conditions treated by the hand surgeon. During these procedures, a tourniquet is often used to minimize bleeding and improve visualization of the operative field.

Tourniquet use in routine primary total knee arthroplasty is associated with a higher transfusion rate and longer postoperative length of stay: a real-world study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background In an enhanced recovery after surgery program, a growing number of orthopedists are reconsidering the necessity of tourniquet use in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Effect of tourniquet use on blood loss, pain, functional recovery, and complications in robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty: a prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2022
Background Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been largely studied to confirm its advantages in terms of accurate component positioning, microembolus formation, less blood loss, and so on, but is currently usually performed under tourniquet

Is lower tourniquet pressure during total knee arthroplasty effective? A prospective randomized controlled trial

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background Higher tourniquet pressures may be associated with an increased risk of complications. We aimed to determine (1) whether a lower tourniquet pressure [systolic blood pressure (SBP) + 120 mmHg] is as effective as conventional tourniquet pressure

Rethinking limb tourniquet conversion in the prehospital environment

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2023
We have highlighted the issue of overuse of tourniquets and described why tourniquet conversion and replacement should be taught and done in the prehospital setting.

Tourniquet use following blast-associated complex lower limb injury and traumatic amputation promotes end organ dysfunction and amplified heterotopic ossification formation

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2022
Background Traumatic heterotopic ossification (tHO) is characterized by ectopic bone formation in extra-skeletal sites leading to impaired wound healing, entrapment of neurovascular structures, pain, and reduced range of motion. HO has become a signature

Management of Tourniquet-Related Nerve Injury (TRNI): A Systematic Review

Cureus, 2022
Tourniquet-related nerve injuries (TRNIs) are a rare but feared complication of operative tourniquet use. While the literature contains multiple discussions regarding tourniquet use as well as reported cases of its complications, there does not exist a ...
