Wainwright JD, Alaraj S, Wenke JC. Systematic review of intraoperative corticosteroid injections and the risk of infection in arthroscopic surgery. J Clin Orthop Trauma 2024; 48:102332.

Abstract
Background Despite the fact that preoperative corticosteroid injections within three to six months of surgery increase the risk of postoperative infection, there is a growing trend of using corticosteroid injections intraoperatively as an effort to decrease postoperative pain and opiate use. Our aim with this review was to answer the question "Do intraoperative corticosteroid injections increase the risk of infections in arthroscopic surgery?" Methods A systematic search of MEDLINE, Cochrane, and PMC databases was conducted adhering to PRISMA 2020 guidelines after registration with PROSPERO (ID: CRD42023459138). We included studies comparing infection rates in patients who received intraoperative corticosteroid injections (IOCSI) to those who received no injection. The MINORS risk of bias tool was used to assess the quality of included studies. Results 305 individual records were screened and a total of 8 studies met the criteria for inclusion in the study, containing data from over 700,000 patient records. All 7 retrospective studies showed an increase in infection rates and the single small randomized controlled trial had no infections in either the control or intervention group. The combined weighted odds ratio of infection rates in comparable studies was 2.23 95% CI (1.66-3.11). Conclusions Current data shows that IOCSIs more than double the risk of postoperative infection during arthroscopic surgery. Surgeons should consider and weigh the impact of infection to the minor clinical benefit corticosteroid injections add over other multimodal injections. We expect similar increases in infection rates in other surgeries where IOCSIs are used due to the inherent immunosuppressive mechanisms of corticosteroids.

Network meta-analysis. J Orthop 2023; 43:11-16. [PMID: 37555201 PMCID: PMC10405163 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2023.07.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Combining steroids for a periarticular injection (PAI) regiment has resulted in better pain control for postoperative TKR pain. Despite the available evidence, the most effective type of steroid for PAI still needs to be established. Network meta-analysis is conducted to analyze whether there is any difference in the effect of particulate compared to non-particulate periarticular steroid injection on post-TKR patients for pain control based on published literature. METHOD This study is conducted following the PRISMA guideline. In general, studies assessing the efficacy of periarticular injection analgesia added with either particulate (Triamcinolone, methylprednisolone, or prednisolone) or non-particulate (dexamethasone or betamethasone) steroid compared to the same regiment were analyzed. RESULTS Ten studies were finally included from the 108 identified papers through database searching. VAS reduction on POD1 is found to be similar in particulate (0,91; CI95%: 0,45-1,37) compared to non-particulate (0,81; CI95%: 0,34-1,28) (Fig. 2). The difference becomes wider and favors non-particulate POD3. Subgroup analysis based on each steroid type was conducted. A stark difference can be observed for each pair of steroids (particulate and non-particulate), resulting in a similar cumulative effect of particulate and non-particulate steroids and inconsistent result on POD1 compared to POD3. CONCLUSION From the available evidence, we concluded that particulate or non-particulate steroid does not significantly affect post-TKR pain management. Instead, the specific type of steroid contributes more to postoperative VAS reduction. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
Postoperative pain is the prime obstacle to recovery of motion and return to activity after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Combating pain is a key point in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols. Outcome depends on the efficacy of pain relief, making it a major issue. The pain originates locally in the knee and also remotely via neural pathways. Regression can be slow, over several months. Pain may sometimes be definitive, to a varying degree. Pain should be managed at each step of ERAS, from the preoperative period to the last follow-up consultation, and most especially during the perioperative phase. Pain needs to be anticipated and limited for as long as necessary. The impact of analgesics should be enhanced by means of potentiators. Some are administered by general route, sometimes preoperatively; others are applied locally, directly in the surgical site by local injection, or close to the nerves, to reduce painful stimuli. The two main principles of pain management are preventive analgesia and multimodal analgesia associating various molecules and routes.

Abstract
Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) is a simple, surgeon-administered technique for the treatment of postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy of LIA and its effects on functional outcomes in TKA. A total of 135 patients with primary TKA were recruited and randomized either to receive LIA or to receive placebo injection (PI). Pain, active range of motion (ROM), knee function score, functional activities, and hospital length of stay (LOS) were assessed before surgery and from postoperative day (POD) 1 to at discharge. Lower pain scores at rest were recorded on POD1 and POD2 in the LIA group (p = 0.027 and p = 0.020, respectively). Lower pain score on walking was recorded on POD1 in the LIA group (p = 0.002). There was a statistically significant difference in active knee flexion between groups on POD1 (p = 0.038). There was a significant difference in LOS between LIA and PI groups. Shorter stay was seen in LIA group. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of knee function score and functional outcomes. LIA technique is effective for pain management in the early postoperative period. LIA added benefit for knee function in terms of active knee flexion ROM after TKA. A shorter hospital LOS was observed in LIA group. However, we did not find any differences in groups in terms of functional assessment such as ability to rise from a chair and walking capacity.The level of evidence is randomized controlled trial, level I.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The management of acute postoperative pain remains suboptimal. Systematic reviews and Cochrane analysis can assist with collating evidence about treatment efficacy, but the results are limited in part by heterogeneity of endpoints in clinical trials. In addition, the chosen endpoints may not be entirely clinically relevant. To investigate the endpoints assessed in perioperative pain trials, we performed a systematic literature review on outcome domains assessing effectiveness of acute pain interventions in trials after total knee arthroplasty. We followed the Cochrane recommendations for systematic reviews, searching PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase, resulting in the screening of 1590 potentially eligible studies. After final inclusion of 295 studies, we identified 11 outcome domains and 45 subdomains/descriptors with the domain "pain"/"pain intensity" most commonly assessed (98.3%), followed by "analgesic consumption" (88.8%) and "side effects" (75.3%). By contrast, "physical function" (53.5%), "satisfaction" (28.8%), and "psychological function" (11.9%) were given much less consideration. The combinations of outcome domains were inhomogeneous throughout the studies, regardless of the type of pain management investigated. In conclusion, we found that there was high variability in outcome domains and inhomogeneous combinations, as well as inconsistent subdomain descriptions and utilization in trials comparing for effectiveness of pain interventions after total knee arthroplasty. This points towards the need for harmonizing outcome domains, eg, by consenting on a core outcome set of domains which are relevant for both stakeholders and patients. Such a core outcome set should include at least 3 domains from 3 different health core areas such as pain intensity, physical function, and one psychological domain.

Intraarticular Pain Catheter Is Not a Necessary Modality for Postoperative Pain Control After Total Knee Arthroplasty. Arthroplast Today 2020; 7:43-46. [PMID: 33521196 PMCID: PMC7818596 DOI: 10.1016/j.artd.2020.11.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 10/31/2020] [Accepted: 11/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Effective pain control balanced with maintaining physical function and minimizing medication side effects is essential to accelerated recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Multimodal pain management regimens combining oral medications as well as local analgesia have shown promise in facilitating these goals. Some regimens use anesthetics delivered via a local infiltration catheter while others use periarticular injections (PAIs). However, it is uncertain if an infiltration catheter provides additional pain relief or decreases opioid consumption when compared with conventional PAI alone. Methods Fifty patients undergoing TKA at one institution were randomized equally into 2 groups for a prospective trial. Group I received an intraarticular catheter (On-Q∗) in combination with injection of 30 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine the day after surgery before removal. Group II received no pain catheter. Both groups received a conventional intraoperative PAI and postoperative oral pain medication. Pain scores were measured with visual analog scale and opioid medication consumption in morphine milligram equivalents (mgs). Results There were no differences in pain scores or opioid consumption in the first 48-hours postoperatively (P = .05). Reported maximum pain scores were low in both groups; 3.33 in group I and 2.97 in group II. Although not statistically significant in this cohort, there was increased opioid consumption in the catheter group: 14.78 mg vs 12.76 mg. Conclusion An intraarticular pain catheter in conjunction with a multimodal approach with intraoperative PAI after TKA does not improve 48-hour pain scores or opioid consumption compared with PAI alone in this randomized controlled trial. Overall pain scores were very low.

Abstract
Introduction: Total knee arthroplasty has been adopted to be the most successful treatment for advanced knee osteoarthritis. The adoption of multimodal periarticular analgesic (MPI) has been shown to have satisfactory pain control after surgery. However, there is relatively lack of data investigating whether this mode of pain control is effective in enhancing rehabilitation. Method: This is a prospective randomized control trial from July 2017 to June 2018, including 82 patients, in which 43 of them had MPI injection and 39 of them had no MPI injection. Primary outcome measures included the number of days required to perform straight leg raise, length of hospital stay, and Insall knee score upon discharge. Secondary outcome measures included total dose of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) consumption postoperatively and visual analog scale (VAS) at rest and on motion during postoperative days 1–4. Result: The MPI group performed significantly better than the femoral nerve block (FNB) group in terms of early functional outcome, namely the number of days required to perform straight leg raising and length of hospital stay. The total postoperative PCA consumption and VAS score on motion during postoperative day 1 were also significantly better for MPI group. There was no difference in Insall knee score upon discharge between these two groups. Conclusion: Compared to FNB, MPI depicts a faster inpatient rehabilitation, accounted by its quadriceps-sparing, and better pain relief especially in the early postoperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although continuous interscalene brachial plexus block (CISBPB) is common method in pain management following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR), little is known about the analgesic effects of periarticular multimodal drug injection (PMDI) for ARCR. This retrospective study sought to clarify which technique could provide the best analgesic effect after ARCR. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients who underwent ARCR performed by the same surgeon at our institution between June 2016 and November 2017. Patients who underwent surgery before January 2017 received CISBPB and those who underwent surgery after February 2017 received PMDI for postoperative pain control. Both treatment groups also received fentanyl by intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA). Postoperative pain was evaluated by visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores at 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h and need for IV-PCA at 8, 16, and 24 h. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients received CISBPB and 21 received PMDI. According to the VAS scores, the postoperative analgesic effect was significantly better in the CISBPB group during the first 6 h (p < 0.05). Total fentanyl consumption by IV-PCA during the first 8 postoperative h was significantly greater in the PMDI group than in the CISBPB group. CONCLUSIONS PMDI does not improve early postoperative analgesia after ARCR compared with CISBPB. CISBPB had a significantly better analgesic effect in the first 8 h postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The local injection of multimodal cocktail is currently commonly used in the treatment of postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It is still inconclusive whether the morphine added to the intraoperative injection mixture could make some difference. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of additional morphine injection on postoperative analgesia in TKA, and provide some useful information on morphine usage in clinical practice. METHODS The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese biomedical literature database (CBM), and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases were systematically searched. Of 623 records identified, 8 RCTs involving 1093 knees were eligible for data extraction and meta-analysis according to criteria included. RESULTS Meta-analysis showed that the use of local morphine injection was not associated with significant pain relief within 48 hours postoperatively at rest and on motion (P > .05, all). The use of morphine reduced postoperative total systemic opioids consumption (P < .05). This study found no significant differences in other outcomes including knee flexion range of motion (ROM) (P > .05), extension ROM (P > .05), The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scores (P > .05), Post-operative nausea and vomiting occurrence (P > .05) regardless of the presence of morphine or not in the injections. CONCLUSION Additional morphine added to multimodal cocktail did not decrease the postoperative pain scores significantly based on our outcomes, but it reduced the systemic postoperative opioids consumption in total knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral nerve blocks reduce postoperative pain and opioid consumption after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of single-shot femoral nerve and sciatic nerve blocks on postoperative pain management and opioid consumption after TKA. METHODS This study included 100 patients who underwent TKA between July 2015 and September 2017. Fifty patients received pre-operative, single-injection, ultrasound-guided femoral and sciatic nerve blocks (Group 1) and 50 did not (Group 2). Multimodal analgesia was otherwise identical, and oxycodone was administered either intravenously or orally if the patients complained of postoperative pain ≥6 on the visual analog scale (VAS). Postoperative VAS scores, opioid consumption, and the fear of future TKA were compared between the groups. RESULTS The mean VAS in the first 18 postoperative hours was significantly lower in Group 1 (P ≤ 0.002). The mean amount of oxycodone taken in the first three postoperative days was significantly lower in Group 1 (P = 0.001). Patient fear of future TKA at 14 days postoperatively was significantly lower in Group 1 (P = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS Pre-operative ultrasound-guided, single-shot femoral and sciatic nerve blocks afforded effective pain control in the first 18 h after TKA, and significantly reduced oxycodone consumption in the first three postoperative days.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of postoperative pain management is an important factor that influences the final outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Whether liposomal bupivacaine offers better efficacy compared with traditional peri-articular injection after TKA remains inconclusive. We conduct this study to compare the true efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine (LB) with traditional peri-articular injection (TPAI) following TKA. Materials and methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and Web of Science were searched. Thirteen RCTs involving 1373 patients were finally included in our meta-analysis (LB = 691, TPAI = 682). The continuous and dichotomous outcome were collected in a standard form, and the data were analysed by using Review Manager 5.3 software. Finally, the results were presented in the forest plots. Result The pooled data demonstrated that the postoperative visual analogue score (VAS) in the LB group was not significantly different compared with that in the TPAI group at every time period after TKA. The liposomal bupivacaine group had significantly lower consumption of morphine equivalents 24 to 72 h postoperatively and reduced incidence of nausea and vomiting after TKA compared with the TPAI group. Finally, the length of hospital stay in the two groups was not significantly different. Conclusion Liposomal bupivacaine did not yield different results on the visual analogue scale compared with traditional peri-articular injection after total knee arthroplasty. However, liposomal bupivacaine was preferred in terms of lower consumption of morphine equivalents 24–72 h postoperatively and lower incidence of nausea and vomiting after total knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
Steroids are frequently used for postoperative pain relief without definite evidence. This study was conducted to assess the pain management effect of the addition of steroids to a multimodal cocktail periarticular injection (MCPI) in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty and evaluate their safety. Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched through April, 2018. A total of 918 patients from ten randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were ultimately included. Compared with placebo groups, steroids application could effectively relieve pain on postoperative day (POD)1; decrease C-Reactive protein (CRP) level on POD3; improve range of motion (ROM) in postoperative 5 days; reduce morphine consumption, achieve earlier straight leg raising (SLR), and shorten the length of stay (LOS) in hospital. With regards to adverse effects, it did not increase the risk of postoperative infection, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), or other complications. However, no significant difference in pain relief, ROM, or increased Knee Society Knee Function Scores were found during long-term follow up. Overall, this meta-analysis ensured the efficiency and safety of steroids with MCPI in knee arthroplasty patients during the early postoperative period.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This narrative review article aims to examine current evidence of knee innervation in order to develop a technique of targeting pure sensory innervation of the knee joint without compromising motor function. METHODS A literature review of knee innervation was performed to gain an anatomic understanding of terminal sensory branches of the relevant target nerves (femoral, obturator, sciatic, and lateral femoral cutaneous). RESULTS Pure sensory block of the knee joint is challenging due to important contributions from themuscular innervation close to the joint and the variability of nerves afferents contained within and around the adductor canal. CONCLUSION On the basis of this anatomic knowledge we describe an ultrasound-guided 3-injection hybrid technique that represents a balance between preserving adequate motor power while still providing analgesia in a simple method.

Periarticular injection and continuous femoral nerve block versus continuous femoral nerve block alone on postoperative opioid consumption and pain control following total knee arthroplasty: Randomized controlled trial. J Clin Orthop Trauma 2019; 10:81-86. [PMID: 30705537 PMCID: PMC6349676 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcot.2017.09.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2017] [Revised: 09/15/2017] [Accepted: 09/21/2017] [Indexed: 10/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB) has been used to prevent the breakthrough pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Multimodal drug injection (PMDI) has also been shown to decrease opioid consumption and pain. We investigated whether the use of PMDI further improves analgesic and rehabilitation outcomes when used in conjunction with CFNB. This is a prospective randomized controlled study of 44 patients undergoing primary TKA. The treatment group (n = 23) received a PMDI of combined ropivacaine, epinephrine, ketorolac and morphine, and the controlled group (n = 21) received saline at wound closure. Total opioid consumption, pain scores, knee range of motion (ROM) outcomes, length of stay, and patient satisfaction were measured and compared. The total consumption of morphine is similar between the two groups (52.6 ± 40.6 vs. 41.5 ± 32.9, p = 0.325). The mean morphine consumption of the treatment group was significantly lower than the control at 4 h after surgery (4.2 ± 5.5 vs. 11.3 ± 8.1, p = 0.002) but comparable on POD1, POD2, and POD3. The mean pain scores were significantly higher in the treatment group than the control group at POD2 (at rest: 47.3 ± 29.1 vs. 23.8 ± 20.6, p = 0.004; after PT: 57.7 ± 25.4 vs. 35.2 ± 26.8, p = 0.007) and POD3 (at rest: 30.9 ± 30.3 vs. 14.8 ± 20.9, p = 0.045; after PT: 50.2 ± 30.6 vs. 29.0 ± 32.1, p = 0.035), and not significantly different at 4 h after surgery or at POD1. Mean maximal knee flexion ROM in degrees during active and active assisted mobilization showed no significant difference between the control and the treatment groups on POD2 and POD3. The mean length of stay of the treatment group is significantly longer than the control group (5.1 ± 2.1 vs. 3.8 ± 1.6, p = 0.032). At discharge, no significant difference exists between the two groups for mean patient satisfaction. The addition of PMDI led to a decrease in opioid consumption in the immediate postoperative period but with no significant difference in the total consumption within the first three days postoperatively. This finding provides an opportunity for appropriate preoperative treatment and education for both patients and caregivers.

Abstract
Local infiltration analgesia has been widely used for pain relief in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. However, the effectiveness and major weakness of this technique have not been clarified; therefore, improvements in the technique have been limited. We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing local infiltration analgesia with placebo infiltration in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Fourteen trials involving 1305 knees were eligible. The results showed that local infiltration analgesia significantly reduced early perioperative pain and total narcotic consumption. However, postoperative functional outcomes were not significantly different between local infiltration analgesia and placebo. The pain-relieving effect of local infiltration analgesia was found to be strong but short in duration. In the future, modified delivery methods and formulas with longer durations of action and analgesia may provide a better environment for patients and therefore improve their function outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periarticular analgesic injection (PAI) is being used more commonly for pain relief after orthopaedic surgeries. However, there is conflicting evidence regarding the effectiveness of PAI for post-THA pain relief. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES In a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial among patients undergoing same-day bilateral THA, with each patient serving as his or her own control, we asked: (1) Did the pain score as measured on a 100-mm VAS differ between the hips that received PAI versus placebo? (2) Were there differences in complications between the treatment and control hips in these patients? METHODS Over a 1-year period at one center, 45 patients underwent same-day bilateral THA; three were excluded for prespecified reasons, and two declined participation in this randomized, controlled trial, leaving 40 patients (80 THAs) in the study. Patients randomly received PAI in one hip and placebo in the contralateral hip; patients, surgeons, and nurses were blinded in terms of which hip received the PAI and which hip received a placebo saline injection. The PAI solution included ropivacaine, morphine hydrochloride hydrate, methylprednisolone, ketoprofen, and epinephrine. The primary outcome was the VAS for pain at rest 24 hours after THA, measured using a 100-mm horizontal VAS. The VAS score was compared between two groups and assessed to reach the reported threshold values for the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) of 20 mm for the postoperative VAS score. No patients were lost to followup, and there were no missing data for the primary outcome. Complications that occurred during the trial were recorded prospectively with emphasis on infection, wound complications, nerve palsy and allergic reactions to the injections. RESULTS There were no clinically important differences between hips treated with the PAI and those treated with the placebo injection at any point. The hips that received PAI had less pain than those receiving placebo 24 hours after THA (16 ± 17 mm versus 22 ± 20 mm; mean difference, 6 mm; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2-9 mm; p = 0.006), but this effect size was below the MCID of 20 mm and thus is unlikely to be clinically important. The hips that received PAI also had better VAS scores in the recovery room (38 ± 29 mm versus 52 ± 33 mm; mean difference 14 mm; 95% CI, 5-23 mm; p = 0.004) and 3 hours after THA than placebo controls (28 ± 22 mm versus 37 ± 24 mm; mean difference 9 mm; 95% CI, 2-16 mm; p = 0.010). Neither of these differences exceeded the MCID and likewise were unlikely to be clinically important. No complications, including surgical site infections, were observed in either group. CONCLUSIONS Periarticular analgesic injection for pain control after THA did not result in a clinically important reduction in pain at any point examined. Given the expense associated with this PAI mixture and the lack of effectiveness outside this timeframe, we cannot recommend its use. Other mixtures or concentrations of drugs may be helpful in short-stay admissions for THA, but this will require further research. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Background The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of local infiltration analgesia (LIA), peripheral nerve blocks, general and spinal anesthesia on early functional recovery and pain control in primary unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Methods Between January 2016 until August 2016, 134 patients underwent primary UKA and were subdivided into four groups according to their concomitant pain and anesthetic procedure with catheter-based techniques of femoral and sciatic nerve block (group GA&FNB, n = 38) or epidural catheter (group SP&EPI, n = 20) in combination with general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia, respectively, and LIA combined with general anesthesia (group GA&LIA, n = 46) or spinal anesthesia (group SP&LIA, n = 30). Outcome parameters focused on the evaluation of pain (NRS scores), mobilization, muscle strength and range of motion up to 7 days postoperatively. The cumulative consumption of (rescue) pain medication was analyzed. Results The LIA groups revealed significantly lower (about 50%) mean NRS scores (at rest) compared to the catheter-based groups at the day of surgery. In the early postoperative period, the dose of hydromorphone as rescue pain medication was significantly lower (up to 68%) in patients with SP&EPI compared to all other groups. No significant differences could be detected with regard to grade of mobilization, muscle strength and range of motion. However, there seemed to be a trend towards improved mobilization and muscle strength with general anesthesia and LIA, whereof general anesthesia generally tended to ameliorate mobilization. Conclusions Except for a significant lower NRS score at rest in the LIA groups at day of surgery, pain relief was comparable in all groups without clinically relevant differences, while the use of opioids was significantly lower in patients with SP&EPI. A clear clinically relevant benefit for LIA in UKA cannot be stated. However, LIA offers a safe and effective treatment option comparable to the well-established conventional procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study examined periarticular multimodal drug injection and the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for an early analgesic effect after total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty. Patient satisfaction and benefits from the treatment were also assessed. METHODS A total of 110 patients who were scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty and 86 patients who were scheduled to undergo total hip arthroplasty were divided into two groups, the study group and the control group. The study group received a periarticular multimodal drug injection during surgery. The control group received an equal volume of normal saline. All patients received an analgesia pump and a moderate dose of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Resting and motion Numeric Rating Scale scores, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index, knee or hip joint range of motion, length of postoperative hospital stay, patient satisfaction, total nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug consumption and side effects were recorded. RESULTS Both study groups exhibited significant improvement in pain Numeric Rating Scale scores during rest and exercise several days after the surgery. The range of joint motion was greater in the study group, and the length of postoperative hospital stay was shorter than that in the control group. Patients in the study group consumed fewer nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and reported greater satisfaction with surgery. CONCLUSION Intraoperative periarticular multimodal drug injection significantly relieved pain after surgery and reduced nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug consumption. These patient had a better postoperative experience, including satisfaction and rehabilitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The periarticular multimodal cocktail injection including morphine is currently commonly used to reduce postoperative pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Despite its analgesic effect, it frequently causes nausea, which is an adverse effect of opioids. It is inconclusive whether the intraoperative injection of periarticular morphine is effective peripherally. The aim of this study was to assess whether the addition of morphine to unilateral periarticular knee injections improves postoperative pain, range of motion, and swelling in patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral TKA. METHODS A prospective, single-center, double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial was conducted to assess the local efficacy of adding morphine to intraoperative periarticular anesthesia in patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral TKA. Fifty-three patients undergoing 106 TKAs received an intraoperative periarticular injection in randomly selected one knee with added morphine (0.1 mg/kg) and the other knee without added morphine. The periarticular injection was composed of ropivacaine (a local anesthetic), epinephrine, ketoprofen, and methylprednisolone sodium. Visual analog scale pain scores at rest and on motion, range of motion (ROM), thigh swelling, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score, and adverse outcomes were compared between the 2 knees. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the visual analog scale score, ROM, thigh girth, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score, and adverse events between the 2 sides. CONCLUSION Adding morphine to periarticular injections is ineffective locally for relieving pain, reducing swelling, and improving the postoperative ROM.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the efficacy of epidural versus intra-articular infusion analgesia following total knee replacement (TKR). METHODS 25 men and 50 women aged 55 to 75 (mean, 67) years who underwent primary TKR by a single surgeon were randomised and consented to receive either epidural (n=35) or intra-articular (n=40) infusion analgesia for 48 hours at 5 ml/ hr. All patients also received intravenous aqueous diclofenac 50 mg twice a day. Patients were assessed 6 hourly for visual analogue score (VAS) for pain to determine the analgesic effect. Complications such as paraesthesia in the lower limbs, hypotension, urinary retention, and abdominal distension were recorded, as was the rehabilitation progress with respect to the time to stand, climb stairs, use of commode chair, and discharge. RESULTS The epidural and intra-articular infusion groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, weight, and operating time, as was the analgesic efficacy within 48 hours of TKR. Patients with epidural infusion analgesia had a higher complication rate in terms of hypotension (51.4% vs. 22.5%, p=0.015) and troublesome paraesthesia in the lower limbs (45.7% vs. 12.5%, p=0.028), and a trend of higher abdominal distension rate (20% vs. 5%, p=0.073). Patients with intra-articular infusion analgesia were able to stand/ walk earlier (2.08 vs. 2.54 days, p<0.001). The 2 groups did not differ significantly in the time needed to climb stairs, use of commode chair, and discharge. CONCLUSION The efficacy of epidural and intraarticular infusion analgesia was comparable. Intra-articular infusion was associated with fewer complications and earlier rehabilitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate periarticular multimodal drug injection (PMDI) in bilateral total knee arthroplasty. METHODS In 154 knees of 77 patients, PMDI was administered intraoperatively through the regions other than posterior capsule to one knee; other knee was control. RESULTS Drug-injected knees had lower visual analog scale scores and higher passive range of motion postoperatively (p < 0.05). The active straight leg raise was higher in drug-injected knees (47 [61%] vs 19 [24.7%], p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS PMDI is a safe and effective method of early postoperative pain management in total knee arthroplasty when applied through regions other than posterior capsule.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periarticular injection is becoming more commonly utilized for pain relief following total knee arthroplasty. However, we are aware of no randomized controlled trial that has investigated the efficacy of periarticular injection for pain relief after simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty. METHODS We performed a randomized controlled trial of patients scheduled for simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty. Seventy-one patients with 142 involved knees were randomly assigned to receive periarticular injection or epidural analgesia. Other perioperative interventions, including spinal anesthesia, surgical techniques, and postoperative medication protocols, were identical for all patients. The primary outcome was postoperative pain at rest, measured with the use of a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) during the initial twenty-four-hour postoperative period. The cumulative VAS score was calculated with use of the area under the curve and compared between the groups. RESULTS Postoperative pain at rest, quantified as the area under the curve of serial assessments during the initial twenty-four-hour postoperative period, was significantly less in the periarticular injection group than in the epidural analgesia group (174.9 ± 181.5 mm × day compared with 360.4 ± 360.6 mm × day; p = 0.0073). The prevalences of nausea on the night of surgery and postoperative day 1 and of pruritus were significantly lower in the periarticular injection group than in the epidural analgesia group (14% and 45%, p = 0.0031; 14% and 55%, p = 0.0003; and 0% and 15%, p = 0.014, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Periarticular injection was associated with better pain relief during the first twenty-four hours following simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty and decreased opioid-related side effects compared with epidural analgesia. Periarticular injection may be preferable to epidural analgesia for pain relief after simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of periarticular multimodal drug injection after medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy regarding the postoperative pain level. METHODS From January 2011 to January 2012, 70 patients underwent medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy. Thirty-five patients were randomly assigned to receive no injection (group I), and 35 patients were assigned to receive periarticular multimodal drug injection (group II). These 2 groups were compared regarding the postoperative pain level, frequency of additional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug injections, total amount of patient-controlled analgesia, and number of times that patients pushed the patient-controlled analgesia button at each time interval. Statistical results were based on multivariate analysis of variance and repeated-measures analyses. RESULTS Multivariate analysis of variance of mean visual analog scale (VAS) scores over the 2-week postoperative period showed statistical significance (P < .001). Repeated-measures analysis yielded a statistically significant difference (P = .001) for the time-by-treatment interaction, showing a clear periarticular multimodal drug injection benefit over time based on VAS scores. In addition, the mean number of times that patients pushed the patient-controlled analgesia button differed significantly between groups over time (P = .01). The VAS scores, frequency of additional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug injections, mean number of times that patients pushed the patient-controlled analgesia button, and mean total amount of fentanyl consumption differed significantly within each group over time (P < .001 for all variables). However, the frequency of additional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug injections and mean total amount of fentanyl consumption did not differ significantly between groups over time (P = .822, P = .529, and P = .282). Opioid- and injection-related complications were not found. CONCLUSIONS This prospective randomized study shows that intraoperative periarticular multimodal drug injections in patients undergoing medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy for unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee could result in significant reductions in VAS scores at 2 weeks postoperatively. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I, high-quality randomized controlled trial with statistically significant differences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is estimated that up to 50% of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) receive suboptimal postoperative pain management. METHODS In a retrospective study, 224 patients who underwent TKA between January 1, 2011, and September 30, 2012, were identified by surgical records for 2 surgeons at Community Medical Center in Missoula, Montana. Patient records were reviewed and data collected for patient hospital length of stay (LOS), postoperative opioid use, opioid-associated adverse events, and nonopioid analgesic use. Data were analyzed for differences in outcomes between patients who received an intraoperative intra-articular (IOIA) injection followed by a postoperative infusion (0.25%-0.5% bupivacaine) or an intraoperative periarticular (IOPA) injection (ropivacaine, ketorolac, epinephrine, and clonidine) for sustained analgesia after TKA. RESULTS Patients who received an IOPA injection had a statistically significant decrease in hospital LOS (67.0 vs 75.9 hours; P = .027) and postoperative nausea and vomiting (39.3% vs 54.9%; P = .023) when compared to patients who received an IOIA infusion. The incidence of having either oversedation or pruritus did not differ between groups (9.8% vs 9.8%; P = 1.00). CONCLUSION The use of IOPA injections containing ropivacaine, epinephrine, ketorolac, and clonidine during TKA offered some benefit over IOIA infusions containing 0.25% to 0.5% bupivacaine at our institution.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite the recent advances in the understanding of pain mechanisms and the introduction of new drugs and new techniques in the postoperative management, pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is still an unresolved issue. It affects the quality of life and rehabilitation of an important percentage of patients undergoing TKA. The aim of this narrative review was to give an overview on pain mechanisms and multimodal pain management. METHODS A review of all peer-reviewed articles on pain after knee arthroplasty was performed by two reviewers. Recent articles on incisional pain mechanisms were included because of their importance in the understanding of postsurgical pain. Search was performed in Pubmed, Cochrane and Google Scholar data bases. RESULTS Postsurgical pain mechanisms are based on both local and systemic inflammatory reactions. Peri-operative pain management starts with the anaesthetic technique and resides on a multimodal analgesia regimen. New concepts, drugs and techniques have shown their efficacy in reducing the severity of acute postoperative pain and the risk of developing chronic pain after TKA. CONCLUSION This narrative review offers a clear overview of pain mechanism after knee arthroplasty and an understanding on how multimodal pain management can reduce the intensity and duration of pain after knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
PURPOSE A systematic review and meta-analysis based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were conducted to evaluate the efficiency and safety of periarticular multimodal drug injection in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Periarticular injection with the use of multimodal drugs is an efficient alternative for postoperative analgesia in TKA. A systematical electronic search was performed to identify the eligible RCTs in the databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. Two independent reviewers completed data collection and assessment of methodological quality. The quality of evidence of outcomes was judged using GRADE criteria. Meta-analysis was performed for the outcomes of pain, straight leg raise, operating time, hospital stay and complications. RESULTS Ten RCTs including eight studies with 1,216 TKAs in 835 patients met the inclusion criteria. Periarticular injection with multimodal drugs in TKA was associated with short-term benefits in terms of pain relief, straight leg raise, narcotic consumption, and the rates of nausea, vomiting, rash and pruritus. There were no statistically significant differences in operating time, hospital stay, wound complications and deep vein thrombosis between both groups. CONCLUSIONS The current evidence suggests that periarticular multimodal drug injection in TKA provides short-term advantages in pain relief, straight leg raise and postoperative complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intraoperative local infiltration analgesia has gained increasing popularity in joint replacement surgery. Because there is considerable variation among drug combinations, analgesic effects of each drug are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to clarify the efficacy of the addition of steroid to local anaesthetics in local infiltration analgesia during total knee arthroplasty. METHODS Forty patients were randomly allocated to the steroid or control group. Patients in the steroid group received peri-articular injection of ropivacaine, dexamethasone and isepamicin, while dexamethasone was omitted from the analgesic mixture in the control group. Primary outcome was pain severity at rest using 100 mm visual analogue scale. RESULTS Pain severity in the steroid group was lower than control group and there were significant differences between groups at post-operative day 1 and 3. Reduction in post-operative pain was associated with a decrease in serum C-reactive protein and interleukin 6 in drainage fluid. The number of patients who were able to perform straight leg raise within post-operative day 2 was 15/20 in the steroid group, which was significantly higher than the control group 5/20. CONCLUSION Adding steroid to local anaesthetics in local infiltration analgesia reduced inflammation both locally and systemically, resulting in significant early pain relief and rapid recovery in total knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
Background Postoperative pain control after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains a great challenge. The management of pain in the immediate postoperative period is one of the most critical aspects to allow speedier rehabilitation and reduce the risk of postoperative complications. Recently, periarticular infiltration anesthesia has become popular, but the outcome is controversial. Some studies have shown transient effects, “rebound pain”, or no effectiveness in pain control. Continuous intra-articular infusion technique has been introduced to improve these transient effects, but more clinical studies are needed. Furthermore, the potential risk of early periprosthetic joint infection is causing concerning. We plan to compare continuous intra-articular infusion anesthesia with epidural infusion anesthesia after TKA to assess the effectiveness of this technique in reducing pain, in improving postoperative function, and to look at the evidence for risk of early infection. Methods/design This trial is a randomized, controlled study. Patients (n = 214) will be randomized into two groups: to receive continuous intra-articular infusion anesthesia (group C); and epidural infusion anesthesia (group E). For the first 3 postoperative days, pain at rest, active range of motion (A-ROM), rescue analgesia and side effects will be recorded. At 3-month and 6-month follow-up, A-ROM, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and synovial fluid cell count and culture will be analyzed. Discussion The results from this study will provide clinical evidence on the efficacy of a continuous intra-articular infusion technique in reducing pain, postoperative functional improvement and safety. It will be the first randomized controlled trial to investigate infection risk with local anesthesia after TKA. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: ChiCTR-TRC-13003999

Abstract
Pain relief following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is challenging because early mobilization and rehabilitation are essential for a successful outcome. Postoperative pain can limit recovery, leading to reduced mobility and prolonged hospitalization. There are potential benefits of infiltrating high volumes of local anesthetics around the soft tissues of replaced hip and knee joints. The risk of systemic toxicity is minimized with diluted local anesthetic solution, which also allows a high volume to be used. One of the principal advantages is that analgesia agents are administered intraoperatively by the surgeon, thereby minimizing the need for additional invasive procedures. The authors conducted a systematic review to evaluate whether high-volume multimodal wound infiltration reduces pain and opiate intake while enhancing early rehabilitation and discharge when used in patients undergoing TKA. Only randomized controlled studies were included. Although better pain relief in the immediate postoperative period with wound infiltration is gained after TKA, there is no definite evidence that this leads to a reduction in opiate consumption, the achievement of early milestones, or a reduction in hospital stay. The roles of individual agents in achieving pain relief and the use of percutaneous wound catheter for postoperative doses are also unclear. There are few reports of complications, including falls and delayed mobilization, when femoral nerve blocks are used. Wound infiltration analgesia should be used at the preference of the surgeon and anesthetist provided regular review of their practice is undertaken to identify any untoward side effects. Further randomized trials with sufficient sample size comparing each outcome, including pain scores, opiate consumption, and length of hospital stay, should be undertaken.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the efficacy and safety of single-dose local infiltration of analgesia (LIA) for post-operative pain relief in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. METHODS A systematic electronic literature search (up to Aug 2013) was conducted to identify the RCTs that address the efficacy and safety of single-dose LIA in the pain management after TKA. Subgroup analysis was conducted to determine changes of visual analog score (VAS) values at six different postoperative time points. Weighted mean differences or relative risks with accompanying 95% confidence intervals were calculated and pooled using a random effect model. RESULTS Eighteen trials involving 1858 TKA patients met the inclusion criteria. The trials were liable to medium risk of bias. The VAS values at postoperative 2h, 4h, 6h, 12h, 24h, and 48h per patient were significantly lower in the LIA group than in the placebo group, and the former group also had less morphine consumption and better early functional recovery including range of motion, time to straight leg raise and 90° knee flexion than the latter group. No significant difference in length of hospital stay or side effects was detected between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The current evidence shows that the use of single-dose LIA is effective for postoperative pain management in TKA patients, with satisfactory short-term safety. More high-quality RCTs with long-term follow-ups are required for examining the long-term safety of single-dose LIA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I, II.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain management after TKA remains challenging and the efficacy of continuously infused intraarticular anesthetics remains a controversial topic. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We compared the side effect profile, analgesic efficacy, and functional recovery between patients receiving a continuous intraarticular infusion of ropivacaine and patients receiving an epidural plus femoral nerve block (FNB) after TKA. METHODS Ninety-four patients undergoing unilateral TKA were prospectively randomized to receive a spinal-epidural analgesic infusion plus a single-injection FNB or a spinal anesthetic plus a continuous postoperative intraarticular infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine. All patients were blinded to their treatment with placebo saline catheters. Blinded coinvestigators collected data concerning side effect profiles (nausea, hypotension), analgesic efficacy (VAS pain scores, narcotic usage), and functional recovery (timed up and go test, quadriceps strength, WOMAC scores, Knee Society scores, early postoperative ambulatory ability, in-hospital falls). All complications and adverse events were recorded. RESULTS The frequency of nausea and hypertension was not different between the study groups. During the first 12 and 24 postoperative hours, the mean maximum VAS pain scores were higher in the ropivacaine group than in the epidural group (first 12 hours: 3.93 versus 1.14, respectively, p < 0.0001; 12-24 hours: 3.52 versus 1.93, respectively, p = 0.008). After 24 hours, pain scores were similar between groups. Narcotic consumption was significantly higher in the ropivacaine group on the day of surgery, but overall in-hospital narcotic usage was similar between groups. There were no clinically important differences in functional recovery between groups at any time point, but patients in the epidural group were more likely to have knee buckling (32.7% versus 6.7%, p = 0.002) and delayed ambulation (16.3% versus 0.0%, p = 0.006) than patients in the ropivacaine group, though not in-hospital falls. No infections occurred in either group, and the frequency of complications was not different between groups. CONCLUSIONS A continuous intraarticular infusion of ropivacaine can be recommended as a safe, effective alternative to epidural analgesia plus single-injection FNB after TKA. Improved analgesic efficacy in the group that received epidural analgesia plus single-injection FNB must be weighed against the disadvantage of a higher likelihood of knee buckling and delayed ambulation with that treatment approach.

Abstract
The efficacy of periarticular multimodal drug injection (PMDI) to reduce pain after total knee or hip arthroplasty (TKA or THA) still remains controversial. Our study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of PMDI after TKA or THA. A fully recursive literature search was conducted to identify relevant randomized controlled trials. Ultimately, 21 studies were included in the analysis. Pooled results showed that the PMDI group had better pain relief, less opioid consumption, larger range of motion, and lower rates of nausea and vomiting than the placebo group. No significant difference was seen in regard to the length of hospital stay between the two groups. In conclusion, PMDI should be recommended for the pain management after TKA or THA.

Pain control is necessary for successful rehabilitation and outcome after total knee arthroplasty. Our goal was to compare the clinical efficacy of periarticular injections consisting of a long-acting local anesthetic (ropivacaine) and epinephrine with and without combinations of an α2-adrenergic agonist (clonidine) and/or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent (ketorolac). In a double-blinded controlled study, we randomized 160 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty to receive 1 of 4 intraoperative periarticular injections: Group A, ropivacaine, epinephrine, ketorolac, and clonidine; Group B, ropivacaine, epinephrine, and ketorolac; Group C, ropivacaine, epinephrine, and clonidine; Group D (control), ropivacaine and epinephrine. Compared with Group D, Group A and B patients had significantly lower postoperative visual analog pain scores and nurse pain assessment and Group C patients had a significantly greater reduction in physical therapist pain assessment. We found no differences in other parameters analyzed.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids are frequently used to prevent post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and may be part of multimodal analgesic regimes. The objective of this review was to evaluate the overall benefit vs. harm of perioperative glucocorticoids in patients undergoing hip or knee surgery. A wide search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central to identify relevant randomized clinical trials. A systematic approach was used, starting from the PRISMA recommendations. The Cochrane Collaboration's tool was used for risk of bias assessment. Studies were divided into three groups: systemic glucocorticoid administration analogous to > 10 mg or ≤ 10 mg dexamethasone, and local glucocorticoid administration. Seventeen studies with data from 1081 patients were included in the final qualitative synthesis. Benefit (of any kind) with glucocorticoid vs. placebo was reported in 15 studies. PONV was reduced with systemic glucocorticoid. Pain was reduced with high-dose systemic and local glucocorticoid, but not with low-dose systemic glucocorticoid. Systemic inflammatory markers were reduced with low-dose and high-dose systemic glucocorticoid, and with local glucocorticoid. Functional recovery was improved with local glucocorticoid. All studies were small-sized and none sufficiently powered to meaningfully evaluate uncommon adverse events. Most of the local administration studies had poor scientific quality (high risk of bias). Due to clinical heterogeneity and poor scientific quality, no meta-analysis was performed. In conclusion, in addition to PONV reduction with low-dose systemic glucocorticoid, this review supports high-dose systemic glucocorticoid to ameliorate post-operative pain after hip and knee surgery. However, large-scale safety and dose-finding studies are warranted before final recommendations.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty is a painful operation. Peri-articular local anesthetic injections reduce post-operative pain and assist recovery. It is inconclusive whether intra-operative injections of peri-articular corticosteroids are of benefit. Therefore our clinical question was: in patients with osteoarthritis who are undergoing TKA, does the addition of high or low dose corticosteroid to peri-articular injections of local anesthetic and adrenaline improve post-operative pain and range of motion? We performed a prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial of two different doses of triamcinolone acetate (N = 42 in each group) added to local anesthetic in TKA for osteoarthritis. There were no significant differences in pain scores or ROM between the control and corticosteroid groups. Differences in secondary outcomes were also non-significant. Peri-articular corticosteroids do not appear to be of benefit in TKA.

Abstract
Multimodal pain management has become an important part of the perioperative care of patients undergoing total joint replacement. The principle of multimodal therapy is to use interventions that target several different steps of the pain pathway, allowing more effective pain control with fewer side effects. Many different protocols have shown clinical benefit. The goal of this review is to provide a concise overview of the principles and results of multimodal pain management regimens as a practical guide for the management of joint arthroplasty patients.
