Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Analgesic effect of intra-artcular fentanyl in knee arthroscopy to treat patellofemoral lateral hyperpressure syndrome].
During arthroscopy for the treatment of patellofemoral lateral hyper-pressure syndrome (LHS), intra-articular morphine or its derivatives (fentanyl) may reduce postoperative pain when combined with anesthetics. We therefore decided to determine whether adding fentanyl to epinephrine and bupivacaine produced an increased analgesia. ⋯ Adding intra-articular fentanyl to the combination of epinephrine plus bupivacaine did not decrease pain, and did not increase neither the analgesia time nor the range of motion in patients with LHS undergoing knee arthroscopy.
