Abstract

PURPOSE: Advantages of tourniquet use in TKA include benefits for surgeons and patients, varying from a bloodless operation site to a reduced intervention time. The time under ischemia and the reperfusion period are crucial phases for affected soft-tissue, most commonly the extensor mechanism.

CASE REPORTS: documented its impact on soft-tissue, ranging from necrotic muscle damage to systemic inflammation. Recently, research regarding tourniquet application patterns discuss clinical outcome parameters in the context of soft-tissue damage, excluding the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.

METHODS: This review summarizes the molecular aspects of soft-tissue damage occurring during tourniquet application in TKA with special focus on ischemia/reperfusion injury. Recent meta-analyses and original trials were reviewed for data on muscle damage and are presented.

CONCLUSION: Although underlying pathomechanisms are well known and presented, clinical orthopedic research has so far not addressed this issue. In context of physical training, positive effects regarding postoperative recovery might be possible if more attention is paid to prepare involved muscle preoperatively to TKA (prehabilitation).
