What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of electrocoagulation compared to traditional scalpel techniques in total hip and knee arthroplasty. It aims to measure intraoperative bleeding, surgical visibility, and accuracy during implant placement. Additionally, the study will compare postoperative complications, recovery times, and patient satisfaction between the two methods. Long-term functional outcomes and quality of life will also be assessed to determine the overall impact of the surgical techniques used.
