Single-dose periarticular steroid infiltration for pain management in total knee arthroplasty: a prospective, double-blind, randomised controlled trial.
Journal Title: Singapore Medical Journal - Year 2011, Vol 52, Issue 1
Abstract
Post total knee replacement pain control using parenteral opioids results in significant side effects like nausea and vomiting. Periarticular injections are used to control pain without these side effects. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of periarticular steroid injection in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, as well as assess the patient's functional outcomes over a period of two years.
