The effect of suction drains after total hip replacement
J Bone Joint Surg Br.
1988 Aug.
Abstract
A prospective study of 120 consecutive total hip replacements showed that deep suction drains produced maximal drainage volumes in the first 24 hours. Their continued presence resulted in minimal further drainage, did not reduce the likelihood of haematoma formation and led in some cases to the spread of skin organisms into the wound.
