FAST TRACK KNEE ARTHROPLASTY: COMPARISON OF TWO DIFFERENT MULTIMODAL ANALGESIA METHODS

Abstract

Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects
of a multimodal protocol in pre-emptive analgesia
following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), using
epidural anesthesia with femoral nerve blockage
(FNB) or local infiltration analgesia (LIA) methods in
fast-track TKA.
Material and Methods
This study was planned as a single-centre,
randomized, single-blind, controlled study. The study
included 72 voluntary patients, aged 40-80 years,
of both genders, who underwent TKA for primary or
secondary osteoarthritis. The patients were divided
into two groups using a computer randomization
program. Group I: FNB application and Group II:
LIA methods. Groups were compared in terms of
functional scores.
Results
No statistically significant difference was determined
between the groups in respect of age, gender, height,
weight, BMI, ASA, operated side, prosthesis type,
and operating time (p>0.05). A statistically significant
difference was determined in the function score values
between the measurement times in both groups
(p<0.05). Multiple comparison tests (post-hoc) were
applied to determine at which time or times there was
a difference. In both groups, the function score values
were different at all the measurement times, with the
preoperative measurement found to be the lowest
and the postoperative 3-month values the highest.
Conclusions
Our study show that used multimodal analgesia with
femoral nerve block or local infiltration analgesia can
be applied as effective analgesia methods in fasttrack
TKA and can be considered as alternatives for
each other.
