Identify the clinical and surgical complications associated with the use of a tourniquet in total knee arthroplasty in patients with or without calcification of the popliteal artery.
The study was performed retrospectively, analyzing 58 patients with calcification of the popliteal artery and 57 patients as a control group.
The case group patients were significantly older than patients in the control group; however, this had no impact on the clinical outcome in the analyzed period.There were no complications during surgery in the groups studied, as there were no statistically significant differences between the incidence of local or systemic intercurrences in the analyzed period.
This study found low rates of complications in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasties with use of a tourniquet, with or without calcification of the popliteal artery.
确定在有或没有腘动脉钙化的患者中，全膝关节置换术中使用止血带相关的临床和手术并发症。
本研究为回顾性研究，分析了58例腘动脉钙化患者和57例作为对照组的患者。
病例组患者明显比对照组患者年龄大；然而，这在分析期内对临床结果没有影响。在所研究的组中手术期间没有并发症，因为在分析期内局部或全身并发疾病的发生率之间没有统计学上的显著差异。
本研究发现，无论有无腘动脉钙化，使用止血带进行全膝关节置换术的患者并发症发生率较低。
