Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The previous studies have shown that drainage after replacement can reduce wound exudate, hematoma, infection and other complications after replacement. But many researchers believe that drainage cannot reduce the incidence of complications, but also can increase the patient’s fear of the wound, and reduce the comfort of the patients. Therefore, drainage or not after hip replacement has been a focus for clinical orthopedic surgeons.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of drainage versus nondrainage after total hip arthroplasty on rehabilitation of patients. 
METHODS: A computer-based search was conducted on the Cochrane Library, PubMed database, CNKI database, VIP database, Wanfang database and CBM database for the related literatures from the establishment to February 28th 2013. The randomized controlled trials and quasi-randomized controlled trials on drainage versus nondrainage after total hip arthroplasty were included, and then quality assessment was conducted based on the methods recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration; Meta analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.1.2 software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 17 randomized controlled trials were included (including 1 838 participants), all studies were parallel randomized controlled trials. Meta analysis showed that the number of patients (relative risk=1.36, 95% confidence interval: 1.03-1.79, P=0.03), blood transfusion (mean difference=0.59, 95% confidence interval: 0.14-1.05, P=0.01), blood loss (mean difference =355.14, 95% confidence interval: 204.93-505.35, P < 0.000 1) and hospital stay (mean difference =1.04, 95% confidence interval: 0.62-1.47, P < 0.000 01) in the drainage group were higher than those in the nondrainage group, but  there was no significant difference in the complication between two groups (relative risk =0.91, 95% confidence interval: 0.64-1.30, P=0.62). Meta analysis identified that there was no effect of nondrainage on the rehabilitation of the patients.
