Primary

Measure	Time frame
To assess the effects of surgical drains on postoperative wound complications such as hematoma, infection, and delayed wound healing.Timepoint: immediate and 1 month	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. To evaluate the effect of drain usage on postoperative pain and knee swelling. 2. To compare the total blood loss and need for blood transfusions between patients with and without drains. 3. To determine differences in functional outcomes and recovery times (range of motion, hospital stay duration, time to mobilization) between the two groups. 4.
