Review Description

Total knee arthroplasty is a frequently performed orthopaedic surgery and the trend indicates an increase in annual procedures. Many patients experience severe postoperative pain. In this review article, a review of the literature reveals evidence supporting a multimodal approach to pain management, which involves basic analgesic treatment in combination with glucocorticoids and local infiltration analgesia. Effective pain control can reduce postoperative pain, lower opioid consumption, and its associated adverse effects, and enhance postoperative rehabilitation and patient satisfaction.
