Abstract
A study of 120 total hip replacements showed the advantages of the var iable vacuum drainage system over the continuous high vacuum drainage system, Better wound healing, less severe hematomas and less occlusion of drains confirmed the higher effectiveness of secretion draining, W ith regard to hygienic aspects, and especially to wound infection, the continuous closed drainage system is an improvement of the intermitte nt closed drainage system.
