概要	This study retrospectively compared the perioperative bleeding, hemodynamics, and clinical outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed with and without a tourniquet between two age groups. We grouped 103 patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent primary TKA based on age at surgery: <76 years and ≥76 years. Tourniquet was used for TKA until March 2010 and stopped thereafter; hence, the patients were further classified according to TKA performed with or without a tourniquet. The differences in the operation time; perioperative bleeding; estimated bleeding; and hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Ht) levels immediately, 1 day, and 7 days postoperatively were evaluated. The clinical outcomes for range of motion, and Knee Society Knee Scores preoperatively and at 4 weeks postoperatively were assessed. Operation time was longer in the ≥76-year-old non-tourniquet group. No difference was observed in estimated bleeding among the groups. Changes in the Hb and Ht levels at postoperative days 1 and 7 were negatively correlated with age but were not different for TKA performed with or without a tourniquet in the ≥76-year-old-patient group. There were no differences in clinical outcomes among the groups. TKA can be performed with or without a tourniquet in patients aged ≥ 76 years with careful assessment of postoperative anemia.
