Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Leg Circumference (cm) — 44.06; 44.77; 44.18; 49.99 Leg circumference (cm)
Summary
This prospective study will evaluate pain, swelling, ROM as well as narcotic use in post-operative total knee arthroplasty patients using novel Non-Compressive Bioactive Garment (NCBG) versus current standard of care gradient compression stocking (Thrombo-Embolic-Deterrent or TED hose). If NCBG proves to be more effective in these outcome areas, it will provide a new and comfortable way to reduce patient pain and swelling immediately following surgery
