Abstract:

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common orthopedic procedure, and ineffective pain control during the perioperative period may lead to slower recovery, increased risk of complications, increased medical costs, and decreased patient satisfaction. More and more attention has been paid to pain control during the perioperative period of THA by the majority of orthopedic surgeons. A multimodal approach to pain management has gradually become mainstream, which includes: oral agents (e.g., COX-2 inhibitors, neuromodulators), peripheral nerve blocks, local anesthetic analgesia, and other modalities. The use of a multimodal approach promises to reduce complications, improve pain and improve patient satisfaction after hip arthroplasty. Enhance the analgesic effect through the synergistic effect between different drugs and/or methods, reduce the dosage and adverse reactions of single drug, shorten the onset time of drugs and prolong the duration of analgesia.
