Should Surgical Drains Be Used After Routine Primary Total Knee or Total Hip Arthroplasty?

Original language description

Surgical drains have been around since the 1960s and are used with the main purpose of avoiding hematoma in a surgical site. Many orthopaedic surgeons also used surgical drains during the early years of arthroplasty. Again, the main purpose of using surgical drains was to avoid hematoma formation and the potential consequences of hematoma, such as infection. One of the earlier reports on the benefits of surgical drains did indeed demonstrate a lower infection rate when the drain was used. Our search of literature revealed 38 level 1 evidence studies, in English, related to the use of surgical drains after primary hip and knee arthroplasty. Of those, 24 papers were with patients after primary hip arthroplasty and 20 with primary knee arthroplasty; some studies include both knee and hip arthroplasty. Among these, 31 studies were RCTs and 7 well-conducted systematic reviews.
