Abstract
A comprehensive, perioperative multimodal pain protocol for total knee replacement including use of a periarticular injection is described here. An appropriately designed and implemented multimodal pain protocol will reduce postoperative pain levels, need for narcotic medication, side effects, and adverse events while improving functional recovery (including ambulation, discharge from hospital, and range of motion), and patient satisfaction.
