Significant blood loss and requirement of allogenic blood transfusion during or after total knee replacement (TKR) have been reported. Incidence of blood transfusion in TKR is highly variable and depends on several factors. We investigated the blood utilization in patients undergoing TKR in our hospital and depicted the important risk factors that determine the need of allogenic blood transfusion in primary unilateral TKR.
