From: Percutaneous periarticular multi-drug injection at one day after total knee arthroplasty as a component of multimodal pain management: a randomized control trial

Duration after surgery

Additional periarticular injection (21 patients)

No additional injection (20 patients)

Postoperative day 1

24 ± 22

44 ± 27

Postoperative day 2

27 ± 23

36 ± 19

Postoperative day 3

26 ± 20

Postoperative day 5

30 ± 20

  1. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation
  2. Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the effect of group (additional periarticular injection) was associated with the difference of visual analogue scale during activity (p = 0.03)
