PURPOSE: The use of closed-suction drainage systems to evacuate haematomas after surgical procedures is still common practice in many orthopaedic departments. However, no evidence to support the routine use of closed-suction drains in orthopaedic surgery exists. Post-operative handling and removal of the drain is particularly complicated in children. We hypothesised that the use of surgical drains in major hip procedures in children does not reduce the complication rate.
METHODS: The records of 63 children undergoing 97 major hip procedures managed with closed-suction drains (centre A), and 75 children undergoing 130 major hip procedures without application of wound drains (centre B) were retrospectively reviewed in this dual-centre study. Demographic data, pre-existing conditions, surgical indications and procedures, duration of hospitalisation and complication rates were analysed.
RESULTS: Children (mean age, 8.3 ± 4 years) in both groups presented similar demographics, medical histories, surgical indications and procedures. No intra-operative complications occurred in either group. In the undrained group a significant shorter hospitalisation time was observed. Overall, there were 31 complications (31.9 %) in the drained group and 26 complications (20 %) in undrained group (p = 0.05). Applying the Clavien-Dindo grading system, both groups had mainly minor grade I and grade II complications. No differences regarding the rate of wound-related complications were observed between the two groups.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of wound drains in our study cohorts has been shown to have no positive impact on complications rates after corrective osteotomies around the hip joint in children. In the light of our results and of the poor evidence of drainage use in adults, we do not recommend the routine use of drains in children undergoing orthopaedic hip procedures.
