The study was designed to investigate efficacy of suction drains in arthroscopic knee surgery, rather than anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. two groups were randomised, and suction drain was applied to one group, and the other group as the control group without a suction drain.
The groups were compared in terms of patellar shock, knee effusion, knee scoring systems, range of motion, loss of labour, hospitalization time. Also different arthroscopic procedures such as meniscectomy, meniscus repair, synovectomy and microfracture were evaluated in terms of need for a suction drain. The controls was at 1st and 15th day, 6th week and 3rd month.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drain Group | Other | Suction drain was applied to these patients after arthroscopic knee surgery. |
|
| Control Group | Other | No suction drain was applied to this group, therefore used as a control group. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Suction drain | Device | A suction drain is used to remove excess fluid from tissues after surgery. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Activity Pain | Severity of pain was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). VAS is a horizontal line divided into ten equal intervals in which zero represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain ever felt. | 3 months |
| Rest Pain | Severity of pain was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). VAS is a horizontal line divided into ten equal intervals in which zero represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain ever felt. | 3 months |
| Range of Motion | Range of motion is measures in terms of angular degrees. | 3 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Lysholm | Lysholm is a scoring system from zero to one hundred. It measures subjective complaints of the patients. | 3 months |
| International Knee Documentation Committee Score | is a scoring system from zero to one hundred. It measures subjective complaints of the patients. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Amount of drainage | The amount of fluid in suction drain. It is measured with cubic centimetre (cc). | 1 day |
| patellar shock | Patellar shock was graded in four scales: Grade 1, some notable fluid, Grade 2, minimally elevated patella, Grade 3, patellar ballottement, and Grade 4, tense knee capsule, unable to compress patella. |
