Influence of the Tourniquet on Pain and Function in Total Knee Arthroplasty: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The use of the tourniquet in total knee arthroplasty is still a subject of controversial discussion. Previous studies mainly focus on parameters like blood loss and operation time. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the postoperative outcome involving parameters such as pain intensity, analgesic consumption, knee function and complication rate with and without tourniquet use, to find a recommendation for future application in total knee arthroplasty. MATERIAL AND METHODS:This review is based on the PRISMA Checklists. A systematic research was performed in PubMed using the key words "tourniquet", "total knee arthroplasty", "TKA" and "knee endoprosthesis" up to and including January 2018. The initial search revealed 686 Papers which were extracted by the parameters intensity of pain, analgesic consumption, function (range of motion, Hospital for Special Surgery Score, Knee Society Score) and complications (deep vein thrombosis, surgical side infection, pulmonary embolism). The program Review Manager Version 5.3 was used for statistical analysis. A significance level of p < 0,05 was defined. RESULTS:18 studies were included in this review with 1279 total knee arthroplasties overall (646 with the use of tourniquet and 633 without). The analysis shows a significant lower pain intensity until the fifth postoperative day (p = 0,03) and also after one to three months (p = 0,04) without using the tourniquet. Range of motion is significantly higher in two to three days postoperatively (p < 0,00 001) when the surgery was performed without tourniquet. Knee Society Score shows no difference between the two groups. A deep vein thrombosis appears significantly more often when using a tourniquet (p = 0,04). There was no higher occurrence in pulmonary embolism and surgical side infections. CONCLUSION:The use of a pneumatic tourniquet in total knee arthroplasty affects especially the early postoperative pain and functional recovery. HINTERGRUND:Der Einsatz einer Blutsperre bei der Implantation von Knietotalendoprothesen wird in der Literatur kontrovers diskutiert. Bisherige Übersichtsarbeiten konzentrieren sich vor allem auf die Parameter Blutverlust und Operationszeit. Ziel der vorliegenden Metaanalyse hingegen ist es, das postoperative Ergebnis anhand der Parameter Schmerzintensität, Analgetikabedarf sowie Funktion des Kniegelenks und Komplikationsrate nach der Implantation einer Knietotalendoprothese mit und ohne Anwendung der Blutsperre zu analysieren. METHODEN:Zur Erstellung dieser Arbeit wurden die PRISMA-Checklisten angewandt. Es erfolgte eine systematische Literaturrecherche mithilfe der PubMed-Datenbank anhand der Suchbegriffe „tourniquet“, „total knee arthroplasty“, „TKA“ und „knee endoprosthesis“ bis einschließlich Januar 2018. Analysiert wurden insgesamt 686 Manuskripte hinsichtlich der Parameter Schmerzintensität, Analgetikabedarf, Funktion (Bewegungsausmaß, Hospital for Special Surgery Score und Knee Society Score). Bei den Komplikationen wurden das Auftreten tiefer Beinvenenthrombosen, Wundinfektionen und Lungenembolien untersucht. Zur statistischen Analyse diente das Programm Review Manager Version 5.3. Ein p-Wert von < 0,05 wurde als Signifikanzniveau festgelegt. ERGEBNISSE:Es konnten 18 Studien mit insgesamt 1279 Knietotalendoprothesen eingeschlossen werden, davon 646 mit und 633 ohne Anwendung einer Blutsperre. Die Analyse ergab bis zum 5. postoperativen Tag eine signifikant niedrigere Schmerzintensität (p = 0,03) und ebenfalls nach 1 – 3 Monaten (p = 0,04) bei der Implantation ohne Blutsperre. Beim Bewegungsausmaß war in den ersten 2 – 3 Tagen postoperativ ein signifikanter Unterschied (p < 0,00001) zugunsten der Operation ohne Blutsperre nachzuweisen; bei dem Knee Society Score ergab sich zu keinem Zeitpunkt eine Differenz zwischen den beiden Gruppen. Eine tiefe Beinvenenthrombose trat signifikant häufiger auf, wenn mit Blutsperre operiert wurde (p = 0,04). Bei der Häufigkeit einer Lungenembolie oder einer oberflächlichen Wundinfektion gab es keinen Unterschied. SCHLUSSFOLGERUNG:Eine Blutsperre bei einer Implantation von Knietotalendoprothesen zu verwenden, beeinflusst vor allem die frühen postoperativen Schmerzen und die funktionelle Rehabilitation negativ.
