Peri- and intra-articular anaesthetics after TKA improve postoperative analgesia .
Este estudo foi identificado como tendo um impacto potencialmente elevado.
A métrica de Alto Impacto da OE, baseada em IA, estima a influência que um artigo poderá ter, integrando sinais da revista em que foi publicado e do conteúdo científico do próprio artigo.
Desenvolvido com recurso ao mais avançado processamento de linguagem natural, o modelo High Impact da OE prevê com maior precisão o desempenho futuro de um estudo em termos de citações do que o fator de impacto da revista por si só.
Isto permite o reconhecimento precoce de investigação clinicamente significativa e ajuda os leitores a concentrarem-se nos artigos com maior probabilidade de moldar a prática futura.
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2013;1(11):10 Acta Orthop. 2007 Apr;78(2):172-9.80 patients requiring total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were randomized to receive one of two treatments for managing postoperative TKA pain. One group received a periarticular injection of analgesic followed by intra-articular bolus injections, and the other group underwent a continuous femoral nerve block (a standard treatment for postoperative pain at the institution of study) followed by an infusion of a local anaesthetic. Results showed that the group receiving a periarticular injection of analgesics followed by bolus injections had lower pain scores and better mobilization compared to the group receiving the continuous nerve block treatment.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?

Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

O Índice de Fragilidade é uma ferramenta que auxilia na interpretação de achados significativos, fornecendo uma medida de força para um resultado. O Índice de Fragilidade representa o número de eventos consecutivos que precisam de ser adicionados a um resultado dicotómico para que o resultado deixe de ser significativo. Um número pequeno representa um resultado mais fraco e um número grande representa um resultado mais forte.
Porque é que este estudo era necessário agora?
Postoperative pain management after total knee surgery often involves a combination of different modalities and can cause numerous side effects. Postoperative pain may delay recovery; therefore, alternative methods of analgesia are of interest to researchers. Recent studies suggest that periarticular infiltration of local anaesthetics may be an effective way to reduce postoperative pain. This study examined the effects of using a peri- and intra-articular analgesic treatment compared to femoral nerve block treatment in managing postoperative pain.
Qual era a principal questão de investigação?
What is the quality of analgesia and mobilization in patients requiring total knee arthroplasty undergoing peri- and intra-articular injections compared to a continuous femoral nerve block procedure from the end of surgery to postoperative day 3?
- More patients in Group I (peri- and intra-articular injection group) (29/39) were able to walk >3 m on the first day post-operation compared to the Group F (continuous femoral nerve block group) (7/37). (P<0.001)
- Group I showed lower pain scores (median: 3 compared to median:5) and opioid consumption (median: 83 mg compared to median: 100 mg) on the first day post-operation compared to Group F. (P=0.001 and P=0.02)
- More patients in Group I were able to hold quadriceps tension for >5 sec (30/37 compared to 18/36) and achieved flexion >90 degrees (24/39 compared to 18/37) compared to Group F on the first day post-operation. (P=0.002 and P=0.3)
- The length of stay between Group I and Group F in the recovery room were similar (Group F: 3.5h; Group I: 3.0h). (p=0.05)
- The median length of stay for Group I was 5 days, and for Group F was 6 days. (P=0.03)
- No significant difference was seen in the number of days each group experienced adverse effects. (P>0.20)
De que é que me devo lembrar mais?
Peri-articular injections of analgesics followed by intra-articular bolus injections can improve postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty in comparison to a femoral nerve block.
Como é que isto afectará o tratamento dos meus doentes?
Use of peri- and intra-articular infiltration and injection may provide better postoperative pain management for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Further studies are required to determine appropriate drug dosage and duration of treatment. It is also uncertain if patients may benefit from subsequent bolus injections after the morning of the first postoperative day.
