Post-operative auto-transfusion in total hip or knee arthroplasty: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

<h4>Background</h4>Total hip or knee arthroplasty is an elective procedure that is usually accompanied by substantial blood loss, which may lead to acute anemia. As a result, almost half of total joint arthroplasty patients receive allogeneic blood transfusions (ABT). Many studies have s...
