Extracapsular local infiltration analgesia in hip arthroscopy: a retrospective study

Many hip arthroscopy patients experience significant pain in the immediate postoperative period. Although peripheral nerve blocks have demonstrated efficacy in alleviating some of this pain, they come with significant costs. Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) may be a significantly cheaper and efficacious treatment modality. Although LIA has been well studied in hip and knee arthroplasty, its e...

High-volume Local Infiltration Analgesia in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty

Analysis of Flow Rate Through Elastomeric Local Infiltration Analgesia Pumps

Background: Local infiltration analgesia pumps have been increasingly used to provide postoperative pain relief. However, their flow rate over time may not be reliable and accurate which can pose concerns regarding the achievement of the desired therapeutic level. We sought to find out in vitro if the flow rate of two elastomeric infusion pumps when combined with two types of wound catheter is ...

Letter to the Editor: Local infiltration analgesia versus standard analgesia in total knee arthroplasty.

PURPOSE To compare outcome and cost following local infiltration analgesia (LIA) versus standard analgesia in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS 13 men and 33 women (mean age, 67.5 years) underwent TKA by a single surgeon and received LIA (n=24) or standard analgesia (n=22), depending on the availability of the senior anaesthetist. RESULTS The 2 groups were comparable at baseline in ter...
