| Popis: | This study compared postoperative bleeding during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction following notchplasty by power instrumentation with that following radiofrequency. Between January 1998 and April 1998 we prospectively divided 24 consecutive patients undergoing arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft into two groups. Notchplasty was performed by powered instrumentation in group A (n=12) and by radiofrequency in group B (n=12). Two Redi-Vac suction drains were placed, one intra-articularly and the other subcutaneously at the harvest site and tibial tunnel. All drains were removed 48 h postoperatively. The first drainage measurement (end of surgery, 6 a.m. postoperative day 1) showed average total bleeding of 124.16 cc in group A and 65.41 cc in group B (P |
