why isn't the cut all bleeding?

[KirbyLTurnage]

@juris229 We use a tourniquet as well as cautery to decrease bleeding. When we close the knee, we place a drain to collect the blood that collects there as there will be moderate bleeding when the tourniquet is deflated.

Good question. thx..KLT

This is a great and informative video. As a Physical Therapy student, I find videos like this to really help my understanding of what the patients go through before coming to therapy. Thank you so much for your passionate work!

@gopflash Good luck to you. Glad this was helpful. KLT

What an amazing video, THANK YOU! You may wonder why so many hits? I'm watching because I had this procedure 7 weeks ago. I delayed it for months, but I'm SO happy I had it done, as I no longer have awful bone pain (had torn bunched up cartilage removed a year and half prior to surgery). I have stiffness when sitting or lying down for a long time, but it improves every week + disappears with movement. Doing daily P.T. exercise is crucial! Thank God for modern technology + you Doctors!

@AnneInCt Glad to hear you are doing well! Blessings! KLT

just amazing! it's a great relief to know that people can walk again after having these problems... Would it mean amputation in the past?
