Abstract

A retrospective study of 24 patients who had had a total hip replacement and 16 patients who had had an acetabular osteotomy showed that there were few clinical differences between the patients who had used suction drainage for 3 hours postoperatively and those who had used for 48 hours. We can conclude that minimal drainage time did not cause any deleterious effects on the postoperative clinical course.
