Operations were performed under spinal anaesthesia. All patients received three doses of first generation cephalosporin intravenously as the perioperative prophylaxis (first dose within 30 min of skin incision and then 8 h and 16 h postoperatively). All THAs were cementless (BiContact stem and ScrewCup acetabular cup, Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) and all TKAs were cemented (Triathlon knee and SimplexP cement, Stryker, Mahwah, NJ, USA). The postoperative analgesic protocol excluded the use of antiinflammatory drugs. The rehabilitation program was identical for all patients, with tolerated weight bearing with crutches along with active range of motion exercises conducted the day after the operation. Thrombosis prevention was performed with low molecular weight heparin for 30 days after surgery with enoxaparin. All patients initially included in this study were followed up for at least 2 years in order to fulfil the periprosthetic joint infection surveillance criteria of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [8] (link).

We performed a prospective study to evaluate P, a novel cryotherapy device, against C in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty by a single surgeon (SG) using their default surgical technique. All patients were operated on in 1 hospital between March 2011 and February 2012.
During this period, all patients were managed as part of a protocol-driven ERP. Preoperative information leaflets including expected length of stay were routinely used. Patients were preassessed prior to surgery and attended on the day of their operation to a dedicated admission unit. Patients received either spinal or general anesthesia depending on their preference and clinical indications. Thigh tourniquets were in place for the entire procedure in all patients. The Triathlon Knee (Stryker, Kalamazoo, Michigan) system was used in all patients through a medial parapatellar approach. Local anesthetic infiltration using standardized volume, concentration, and technique was routinely used. A retransfusion drain was inserted prior to closure and removed on the first postoperative day. An integrated care pathway was used to record a patient’s progress throughout the admission, and postoperative rehabilitation was standardized.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
