Effect of Local Infiltration Anesthesia in a Hip Arthroplasty Fast Track Program.

Summary

Fast-track programs in Orthopaedic Surgery require early motion that can only be achieved by optimal pain management protocols. Multimodal analgesia protocols including local infiltration anesthesia (LIA) have obtained excellent results in fast-track programs involving Total Knee Arthroplasty but further research and data is needed in Total Hip Arthoplasty programs.
