The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the saline-coupled bipolar sealer compared to the unipolar electrocautery provides superior hemostasis in patients undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty. This will be a prospective, randomized, single-blinded, non-inferiority study in patients scheduled for a primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with Dr. Eugene Krauss or Dr. Ayal Segal. The restriction of this study to two surgeons will limit variations in the outcomes being measured due to differences in surgical technique.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Hemostasis | Postoperative day 1 estimated blood loss as calculated by the Gross' Formula | Postoperative day 1 | |
Secondary | Functional Outcomes | Functional outcomes measured by the 2011 "Knee Society Score". The Functional Activities section consists of 4 sub-sections with a total score ranging from 0-100 points. The higher the numerical value the better the outcome. The sub-sections consist of: (1)Walking and Standing 0-30 points (2)Standard Activities 0-30 points (3)Advanced Activities 0-25 points (4)Discretionary Knee Activities 0-15 points. | 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Wound Infection | Participants were assessed for any wound infection within 90 days of surgery. | 90 days postoperatively |
