Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
we expect find a decrease in pain measured by the visual analog scale in the partial-tourniquet use group.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
We tried to evaluate functional scores measured by the Oxford score and a increase in the score ind the group with less tourniquet use. ;It is estimated to assess the quality of cementation using orthogonal radiographs in search of a radiolucent lines by two independent examiners.;This involves assessing the range of motion of the joints using a goniometer, and we aim to find out differences in range of motion between groups.
