The role of a cryocompression device following total knee arthroplasty to assist in recovery: a randomised controlled trial.
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc . 2023 Oct;31(10):4422-4429.72 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty for knee osteoarthritis were randomized to receive either the Game Ready (GR) cryocompression device (n=36) or standard ice and compression therapy (n=36). Outcomes of interest included pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), opioid consumption, range of motion in extension and flexion, length of stay, limb circumference, Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Score (KOOS) pain, symptoms, and quality of life, and the incidence of adverse events.
