Abstract
We conducted a randomized study of 100 patients to examine the efficacy and risks of two methods of urinary-bladder management after total joint-replacement surgery. Patients who had hip or knee replacement were randomly assigned either to Group I, in which indwelling catheters were placed during the operation and removed the next morning, or Group II, in which urinary retention was treated by intermittent catheterization as needed.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
