Fig. 14From: Impact of tourniquet during total knee arthroplasty when tranexamic acid was used: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trialsA forest plot diagram showing complications. Five RCTs reported intramuscular venous thrombosis. Six RCTs reported Deep venous thrombosis, five RCTs reported superficial infection, and four RCTs reported deep wound infection. Four RCTs reported delayed wound healing. We detected no significantly difference in terms of intramuscular venous thrombosis (RD = 0.01, 95% CI − 0.04, 0.05], P = 0.81), deep venous thrombosis (RD = 0.03, 95% CI − 0.00, 0.05], P = 0.10), superficial infection (RD = 0.01, 95% CI − 0.02, 0.05], P = 0.45), deep wound infection (RD = 0.01, 95% CI − 0.02, 0.04], P = 0.64), delayed wound healing (RD = 0.01, 95% CI − 0.03, 0.04], P = 0.65) between two groupsBack to article page
