Multimodal Drug Infiltration in Total Knee Arthroplasty: Is Posterior Capsular Infiltration Worth the Risk? A Prospective, Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating 0.5% bupivacaine 100 mg, morphine sulfate 5 mg, 0.1% epinephrine 0.6 mg, and ketorolac 30 mg mixed NSS up to 100 mL, Drug injection at Anterior soft tissue (25 mL)+Medial gutter area (25 mL)+Lateral gutter area (25 mL)+Posterior capsular infiltration (25 mL), and 1 other intervention for Osteoarthritis, Knee. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Multimodal local anesthetic infiltration (LAI) provides effective pain control in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Some surgeons avoid posterior capsular infiltration (PCI) for fear of damaging posterior neurovascular structures. Data are limited on the added benefits of PCI using different combinations of local anesthetic agents. Therefore, the investigator wanted to know the effectiveness of pain control in LAI with and without PCI. Half of participants received LAI with PCI, while the other half received LAI without PCI during total knee arthroplasty.
