520 3 |a Purpose: A consistent post-operative limb positioning regime could be an attractive, simple and cost-effective alternative to improve patient's outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of the available literature in order to understand whether a consistent post-operative limb positioning regime could affect blood loss and range of motion (ROM) after TKA. Methods: A search was performed using the keywords "total knee replacement/knee prosthesis” in combination with "post-operative management”, "blood loss”, "range of motion”, "leg position”, "flexion”, "extension” and "splinting” regardless of the year of publication. The scientific databases have been accessed in order to identify papers dealing with post-operative limb positioning regimes after TKA. Results: Seven articles matching the inclusion criteria were selected. Blood loss and ROM were both investigated in all but one paper, in which only blood loss was evaluated. There were six randomized controlled trials and one prospective comparative study. A 48-72h post-operative knee flexion protocol seems to be effective in reducing blood loss and increasing ROM following TKA. We did also find no benefit in using extension splints in the immediate post-operative period. Conclusions: Based on the studies undertaken to date, a 48-72h post-operative knee flexion protocol should be implemented as an easy and inexpensive method of reducing blood loss and increasing ROM following TKA. Shorter flexion regimes failed to influence these parameters. Level of evidence: II.
