Randomized Controlled TrialIntra-synovial ropivacaine and morphine for pain relief after total knee arthroplasty: a prospective, randomized, double blind study.
Several analgesic techniques are available for pain management after a major operation. ⋯ Therefore, we found that ropivacaine, alone or with morphine, injected into the synovial tissue, along with an epidural PCA has no additional benefits in pain control after a total knee arthroplasty.
