    Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of lower extremity flexion to reduce blood loss and improve range of motion after total knee arthroplasty in immediate post-surgical patients. Material and method: The study design is a systematic review consisting of 10 scientific articles that demonstrate the effectiveness in reducing blood loss and improving range of motion after total knee arthroplasty in immediate post-surgical patients, which were obtained from the following database: Epistemonikos, Pubmed, Trandfonline, jors online, Springer, publishers, publishing, Springer. They were analyzed according to the Grade scale to determine the strength and quality of the evidence. Of the 10 articles, 100% (n=10/10) are of high quality, 70% (n=7/10) are meta-analysis, 10% (n=1/10) are systematic reviews, the 10% (n = 1/10) are randomized clinical trials and 10% (n = 1/10) are randomized controlled trials. Depending on the country where the research was carried out, 70% correspond to China. (n=7/10), Europe, 10% (n=1/10), Berlin 10% (n=1/10), and the USA 10% (n = 1/10). Results: From the evidence obtained, 100% (n=10/10) (12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21) demonstrate that lower extremity flexion is effective in Decreased blood loss and improved range of motion after total knee arthroplasty in immediate post-surgical patients. Conclusions: 10 of the 10 articles demonstrate that lower extremity flexion is effective in reducing blood loss and improving range of motion after total knee arthroplasty in immediate post-surgical patients.
