Regional and Multimodal Analgesia to Reduce Opioid Use after Total Joint Arthroplasty: A Narrative Review

Abstract: Background Elective total joint arthroplasty may be a gateway to long-term opioid use. Questions/Purpose We sought to review the literature on multimodal and regional analgesia as a strategy to minimize perioperative opioid use and control pain in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods We conducted a narrative review to assess the state of the evidence informing opioid-sparing analgesics for THA and TKA. A PubMed search was conducted for English-language … Show more

“…Application of pain catheters: Most surgeons opted for “no application” of pain catheters after TKA in patients with high RTS expectations or no influence. There are various types of pain catheters available including intraarticular, continuous femoral nerve analgesia, epidural, and local infiltration analgesia (LIA) [ 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 ]. The rationale behind using pain catheters or application of a multimodal pain management is to promote early postoperative pain relief to allow quick recovery and rehabilitation.…”
