We present the patient analgesic requirements and rehabilitation of a prospective single surgeon series after the introduction of a multimodal drug injection during his total knee arthroplasty. Basic epidemiological data as well as analgesic, antiemetic requirements and time to straight leg raised was collected on 27 consecutive patients (group 1) whom received the multimodal drug injection, consisting of levobupivacaine, ketorolac and adrenaline at the time of their total knee arthroplasty under spinal anaesthesia. Their rehabilitation was compared to a retrospective review of patients who were case matched by age and sex (group 2n = 26), whom had received the unit standard of spinal anaesthetic and a femoral and sciatic block at the time of their operation. Patients in group 1 had significantly lower analgesic and antiemetic requirements than group 2. Group 1 also had a significantly shorter hospital stay. We have demonstrated that periarticular multimodal drug injection can improve perioperative analgesia and mobilisation following total knee arthroplasty as well as reducing opioid requirements and side effects.展开更多

Little evidence exists regarding the much cheaper oral form. The objective of this cohort study was to evaluate whether oral tranexamic acid administration in patients undergoing elec- tive hip and knee replacement surgery resulted in decreased transfusion requirements. Methods: We assessed the transfusion requirements of 332 patients following unilateral total hip or knee arthroplasty, with the first 140 receiving no tranexamic acid and the next 192 given 1 g oral tranexamic acid one hour prior to and a further 1 g 4 hours post joint arthroplasty. Haemoglobin before and after surgery, the number of units transfused post-operatively and the incidence of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism were recorded. Results: In the first group, there were 22 instances of transfusion (15.7%) and a mean haemoglobin drop of 32.2 g/L, while the second (tranexamic acid) group had just 12 patients transfused (6.3%) and a mean haemoglobin drop of 24.6 g/L (both significantly less, p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism rates between groups. Conclusions: This is the first prospective study to analyze the outcome of oral tranexamic acid administration in hip and knee replacement. We conclude that oral tranexamic acid administration is a safe and effective means to decrease transfusion requirements in joint arthroplasty and is a much cheaper alternative to intravenous preparations of tranexamic acid.展开更多
