Study Summary

This proposed novel randomized control trial (RCT) seeks to address this gap in TKA protocol by gaining a better understanding of the relationship between tourniquet pressure and time, and intraoperative performance and post-operative outcomes. This study does not seek to answer the question of "tourniquet vs no tourniquet", but to seek a tourniquet usage that would maximize the intraoperative benefits for the surgeon and minimize the negative consequences for patient outcomes. Specific Aim #1: enroll around 146 primary TKA patients. Specific Aim #2: evaluate different tourniquet cuff pressures (TCP) and tourniquet times in relation to intraoperative performance. Specific Aim #3: evaluate different TCP and tourniquet times in relation to post-operative pain and complications of short-term, intermediate, and long-term followup. Specific Aim #4: evaluate different TCP and tourniquet times in relation to post-operative function of short-term, intermediate, and long-term followup.

Primary Outcome
