Not Applicable

• Conditions: M16; Z96.64; Coxarthrosis [arthrosis of hip]

• Registration Number: DRKS00022569
• Lead Sponsor: Waldkliniken Eisenberg GmbH

Brief Summary

Postoperative leg swelling was lower in the compression group (241 ± 234 mL vs. 307 ± 287 mL; p = 0.01), even after adjustment for surgery time and Body-Mass-Index (BMI) (p = 0.04). Estimated blood loss was also lower in the compression group on the first (428 ± 188 mL vs. 462 ± 178 mL; p = 0.05) and third (556 ± 247 mL vs. 607 ± 251 mL; p = 0.04) postoperative days and leveled off on the fifth postoperative day, but lost significance after adjustment for BMI and surgery time. Neither group received a transfusion.
