Pain or stiffness may be noted only during the first few moments on awakening or after the joints have not been used for a while, or when the joints are used excessively, or when the capsule is stretched. The patient may ...

In this prospective randomized study, patients undergoing total hip (THA) or knee arthroplasty (TKA) were randomized to either a study group receiving periarticular injections or a control group receiving patient-controlled analgesia with or without femoral nerve block (TKA patients). All patients received a comprehensive multimodal perioperative protocol. Pain, recovery of functional milestone...

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 ...
