The paper analyzes the results of different treatment approaches to active knee joint drainage after arthroplasty in 65 patients. The patients were divided into 4 groups: drainage tubes of different diameters were used in 3 groups, no drainage was performed in one group. There is evidence for the expediency of using active drainage with one thick tube and bellows. There was no significant difference between 250- and 500-ml bellows. In the absence of drainage (the differences were statistically significant), there was a smaller decrease in hemoglobin levels on days 3 and 5 postsurgery with an increase in the time of wound adhesion and knee joint swelling.
