Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Postoperative analgesic effect after intra-articular morphine or ropivacaine following knee arthroscopy - a prospective randomized, doubleblinded study].
Recent studies for postoperative pain relief after arthroscopy by intraarticular morphine or bupivacaine showed controversial results. The aim of the study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of intraarticular morphine and ropivacaine. ⋯ Intraarticular ropivacaine following elective knee-arthroscopy reduces postoperative analgetic consumption significantly and improves patient comfort.
