Brief summary

Knee prothesis surgery is responsible of a risk of thrombosis and hemorrhage. To prevent thrombosis, patients have systematic anticoagulation after surgery which are responsible of hemorrhage. A local glue which improve local coagulation and have no impact of thrombosis can be a solution to limit hemorrhage. The purpose of this trial is to study the impact of a biological glue administration on the bleeding loss at five days after a total knee prosthesis surgery operation.

Detailed description

The orthopaedic surgeon administers a local pulverisation of the biological glue during the surgery.

Interventions

DRUGHuman Fibrinogen and human thrombin (Evicel)

Product to be applied intraoperatively. No further administration will take place after this.

DRUGSodium Chlorure (Physiological saline)
