STICKS study – Short-sTretch Inelastic Compression bandage in Knee Swelling following total knee arthroplasty – a feasibility study

Abstract: BackgroundPostoperative knee swelling is common and impairs early postoperative function following total knee arthroplasty. It was hypothesised that the use of a short-stretch, inelastic compression bandage would reduce knee swelling and improve pain and early function. The aim of this study was to provide preliminary data and test feasibility with a view to informing a larger, future trial.MethodsFifty consecutive patients selected for primary total knee arthroplasty underwent distance randomisation to receiv… Show more

“…The pain score at rest was recorded at 24 h (five studies [13-15, 19, 20] including 369 knees) and 48 h (four studies [13,15,19,20] including 309 knees) postoperatively. No statistical heterogeneity was found between the compression bandage group and control group; thus a fixed-effects model was applied.…”

“…Post-operative pain during ambulation was also recorded at 24 h (four studies [14,15,19,20] including 309 knees) and 48 h (three studies [15,19,20] including 321 knees). Similarly, tests of heterogeneity showed no difference using the fixed effects model for analysis.…”
