Randomized Controlled TrialEfficacy of multimodal cocktail periarticular injection with or without steroid in total knee arthroplasty.
Multimodal cocktail periarticular injection (MCPI) with a large volume of low concentration local anesthetics, adrenaline, and anti-inflammatory agents such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or steroids have shown good pain control and improvement in range of motion after surgery. This study compares the efficacy of pain control after total knee arthroplasty, using multimodal cocktail periarticular injection with steroid or without steroid. ⋯ The patients who received the steroid injection had faster rehabilitation and less non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs consumption.
