Conditions
Interventions
Inelastic adjustable compression garment (INCOM)
Immediately following surgery, participants randomized to INCOM will wear an inelastic adjustable compression garment set to a minimum of 30mm Hg of compression utilizing a standardized garment tensioning tool. Participants will be instructed to wear the compression garment during waking hours with a target wear time of 80% of waking hours. Participants will participate in a standardized rehabilitation program
Elastic compression garment (CONTROL)
Immediately following surgery, participants randomized to CONTROL will wear a thigh-length elastic compression garment (thromboembolism-deterrent \[TED\] hose) for the first 3 weeks after TKA. Participants will be instructed to wear the compression garment during waking hours with a target wear time of 80% of waking hours. Participants will participate in a standardized rehabilitation program
