Summary

The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a cryocompression device after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared to standard therapy.

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of cryocompression after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared to a control group without cryocompression. The effect on the following parameters will be evaluated: knee and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS), patient satisfaction, knee girth, skin temperature, knee range of motion, morphine consumption, pain perception, the length of stay, the 10-metre walk test and the timed-up-and-go.
