The efficacy comparison on femoral vein hemodynamics and morphology between two types of graduated elastic compression stockings among patients undergoing knee replacement: a single center, double-blind, randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Venous thromboembolism is a significant complication after knee replacement. The short-term efficacy disparities between different types of graduated elastic compression stockings (GCS) among patients undergoing total/unicompartmental knee replacement remain unclear.

Objective

The aim of the trial was to compare the efficacies on hemodynamics and morphology of femoral vein between two types of GCS, providing more evidence on GCS prophylaxis among patients undergoing total/unicompartmental knee replacement.

Methods

In this single center, double-blind, parallel design, randomized trial, 141 adult patients who underwent selective, unilateral total/unicompartmental knee replacement operation for the first time were enrolled, with 71 were assigned to type A GCS
