Summary
The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study was to determine whether the timing of drain removal in relation to continuous passive motion (CPM) application influences postoperative residual hematoma formation following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Our primary hypothesis was that removing the drain after initiating CPM would result in less residual hematoma, as CPM-induced intra-articular fluid and blood mobilization would be evacuated through the drain before its removal, thereby reducing postoperative fluid accumulation.
