Randomized Controlled TrialAdministration of analgesics after rotator cuff repair: a prospective clinical trial comparing glenohumeral, subacromial, and a combination of glenohumeral and subacromial injections.
Local analgesic injections are commonly used for pain relief after shoulder surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of local injections administered in the glenohumeral joint, the subacromial space, or both locations after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. ⋯ Injection of local analgesics after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair relieves postoperative pain regardless of the injection location.
