Official Title: Efficacy of Peroperative Suction Drain Usage in Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

Brief 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.

Detailed Summary: 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.

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Activity Pain [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    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.
  • Rest Pain [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    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.
  • Range of Motion [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Range of motion is measures in terms of angular degrees.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Lysholm [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Lysholm is a scoring system from zero to one hundred. It measures subjective complaints of the patients.
  • International Knee Documentation Committee Score [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    is a scoring system from zero to one hundred. It measures subjective complaints of the patients.
  • hospitalization time [ Time Frame: 1 month ]
    It is measured in days. It shows the period of hospitalization time, from surgery to discharge.
  • loss of labour time [ Time Frame: 1 month ]
    It is measured in days. It shows the time from discharge to beginning of work.


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
