Clinical Trial Summary

The study was designed to investigate efficacy of suction drains in arthroscopic knee surgery, rather than anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. two groups were randomised, and suction drain was applied to one group, and the other group as the control group without a suction drain.

Description:

The groups were compared in terms of patellar shock, knee effusion, knee scoring systems, range of motion, loss of labour, hospitalization time. Also different arthroscopic procedures such as meniscectomy, meniscus repair, synovectomy and microfracture were evaluated in terms of need for a suction drain. The controls was at 1st and 15th day, 6th week and 3rd month.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Amount of drainage	The amount of fluid in suction drain. It is measured with cubic centimetre (cc).	1 day	No
Other	patellar shock	Patellar shock was graded in four scales: Grade 1, some notable fluid, Grade 2, minimally elevated patella, Grade 3, patellar ballottement, and Grade 4, tense knee capsule, unable to compress patella.	1.5 months	No
Primary	Activity Pain	Severity of pain was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). VAS is a horizontal line divided into ten equal intervals in which zero represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain ever felt.	3 months	No
Primary	Rest Pain	Severity of pain was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). VAS is a horizontal line divided into ten equal intervals in which zero represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain ever felt.	3 months	No
Primary	Range of Motion	Range of motion is measures in terms of angular degrees.	3 months	Yes
Secondary	Lysholm	Lysholm is a scoring system from zero to one hundred. It measures subjective complaints of the patients.	3 months	Yes
Secondary	International Knee Documentation Committee Score	is a scoring system from zero to one hundred. It measures subjective complaints of the patients.	3 months	Yes
Secondary	hospitalization time	It is measured in days. It shows the period of hospitalization time, from surgery to discharge.	1 month	No
Secondary	loss of labour time	It is measured in days. It shows the time from discharge to beginning of work.	1 month	No
