Closed suction drains offer no long-term benefits in aseptic orthopedic surgery and may increase infection risk. Evidence-based practice suggests limiting their use, but surgeon acceptance remains low.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Surgical Drainage
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Context:

  • Closed suction drains are frequently employed after orthopedic procedures.
  • Historically, their use was based on empirical recommendations, but recent decades have seen numerous randomized controlled trials.
  • This review synthesizes findings from prospective randomized studies on drain efficacy.

Purpose:

  • To critically evaluate the effectiveness of closed suction drains in orthopedic surgery.
  • To compare outcomes from prospective randomized studies regarding drain use.
  • To assess the impact of drains on long-term results and complication rates.

Summary:

  • Numerous studies demonstrate no positive effect of suction drains on long-term outcomes in aseptic orthopedic surgery.

  • This finding applies to various procedures, including endoprosthetic surgery and bone grafting.
  • Some evidence indicates a higher incidence of septic complications in patients with suction drains.

    • Impact:

    • Evidence-based surgical practice necessitates a critical approach to prescribing suction drains.
    • Despite strong evidence, surgeon adoption of these findings is currently very limited.
    • Highlights a gap between research evidence and clinical practice in orthopedic surgery.
