Sixty patients undergoing total knee replacement were randomized to receive either a cold compression dressing (Cryo/Cuff, Aircast. UK) or a modified Robert Jones bandage immediately after surgery.

No difference was found between the 2 groups except for less blood loss in the surgical drains in the cold compression group (P
