The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of tourniquet on perioperative blood loss, early functional recovery and complications in opening wedge HTO with modern tranexamic acid protocols.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent unilateral opening wedge HTO between January 2019 and September 2020. All patients were divided into two groups according to whether a tourniquet was applied during HTO. Patients in both groups received the same surgical procedures, tranexamic acid protocols and other perioperative treatments. Preoperative baseline data, intraoperative data, early postoperative recovery and all complications during the 3-month follow-up were collected and compared between the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A total of 62 patients were enrolled in this study, including 32 in the tourniquet group and 30 in the non-tourniquet group. There was no significant difference in preoperative baseline data between the two groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05 in all). Intraoperative blood loss in the tourniquet group was significantly lower than that in the non-tourniquet group (80.22\u2009ml versus 94.00\u2009ml, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt; 0.001), but there was no difference in total blood loss (187.39\u2009ml versus 193.31\u2009ml, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u20090.714). And no patient in either group required blood transfusion. In terms of early postoperative recovery, tourniquet use significantly increased pain scores and reduced knee range of motion on the first and second postoperative days, but there was no significant difference between the two groups at postoperative third day and third month. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of lower limb force line correction, length of stay, Knee Society Score or the incidence of complications during the 3-month follow-up (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&gt;\u20090.05 in all).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In opening wedge HTO with modern tranexamic acid protocols, not using a tourniquet does not increase perioperative total blood loss or the risk of complications, but facilitates early postoperative recovery by reducing pain and increasing range of motion.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12891-021-04830-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,8]],"date-time":"2021-11-08T15:05:43Z","timestamp":1636383943000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Impact of tourniquet on short-term outcomes in opening wedge high tibial osteotomy with modern tranexamic acid protocols: a retrospective cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Limin","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yunfeng","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guanglin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"4830_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"132","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-002-0334-7","volume":"11","author":"P Lobenhoffer","year":"2003","unstructured":"Lobenhoffer P, Agneskirchner JD.
