简要总结
The purpose of this study is to compare quadriceps muscle strength, pain, opioid consumption and patient function during the first three months after short-stay total knee replacement between patients treated with short-duration tourniquet knee replacement with the Aquamantys® bipolar sealer versus those treated with the standard of care (tourniquet used throughout the case and no Aquamantys®).
By doing this study, investigators hope to learn if short duration tourniquet knee replacement with the Aquamantys® bipolar sealer is more effective than standard of care (tourniquet used throughout the case and no Aquamantys®).

结局指标
主要结局
Isometric Quadriceps Strength
时间窗: 2 weeks
The participant will sit in a seated position and a stabilizing strap will be placed around the bottom of the participant's shank and attached to a hand-held dynamometer. The participant will be asked to slowly kick the foot as hard as they can into the dynamometer pad (muscle testing hardware), and force will be measured. Increased measured force indicates greater quadriceps strength. Measurements will be recorded for both the operative extremity and the non-operative extremity, and the results will be expressed as a percentage of the mean strength measured in operative extremities compared to that measured in non-operative extremities for each study group.
