5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty will follow two different rehabilitation protocols. In one of them, they will start walking the day of surgery and discharged on a 48 hours basis. On the other one, start walking 3 days after surgery and discharged on a 96 hours basis. Outcomes will be satisfaction, pain, range of movement, incidence of DVT and overall complications.
Detailed Description
Randomization will be performed concealed the day before surgery. Tranexamic acid will be used in both groups. Rapid recovery group will not be using a drain, whereas the standard protocol group will have one.
