In a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of cryotherapy after total knee arthroplasty, patients treated with cryotherapy had less blood loss but no difference in transfusion requirements. There was better range of motion at the time of discharge from the hospital. There was no improvement in pain, swelling, or analgesia requirements. Patients treated with cryotherapy did not have better long-term range of motion.
