  • Local Anaesthetic Infiltration for Peri-Operative Pain Control in Total
    Marques et al. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2014, 15:220 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2474/15/220 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Local anaesthetic infiltration for peri-operative pain control in total hip and knee replacement: systematic review and meta-analyses of short- and long-term effectiveness Elsa MR Marques1*, Hayley E Jones1, Karen T Elvers2, Mark Pyke3, Ashley W Blom2 and Andrew D Beswick2 Abstract Background: Surgical pain is managed with multi-modal anaesthesia in total hip replacement (THR) and total knee replacement (TKR). It is unclear whether including local anaesthetic infiltration before wound closure provides additional pain control. Methods: We performed a systematic review of randomised controlled trials of local anaesthetic infiltration in patients receiving THR or TKR. We searched MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane CENTRAL to December 2012. Two reviewers screened abstracts, extracted data, and contacted authors for unpublished outcomes and data. Outcomes collected were post-operative pain at rest and during activity after 24 and 48 hours, opioid requirement, mobilisation, hospital stay and complications. When feasible, we estimated pooled treatment effects using random effects meta-analyses. Results: In 13 studies including 909 patients undergoing THR, patients receiving local anaesthetic infiltration experienced a greater reduction in pain at 24 hours at rest by standardised mean difference (SMD) −0.61 (95% CI −1.05, −0.16; p = 0.008) and by SMD −0.43 (95% CI −0.78 −0.09; p = 0.014) at 48 hours during activity. In TKR, diverse multi-modal regimens were reported. In 23 studies including 1439 patients undergoing TKR, local anaesthetic infiltration reduced pain on average by SMD −0.40 (95% CI −0.58, −0.22; p < 0.001) at 24 hours at rest and by SMD −0.27 (95% CI −0.50, −0.05; p = 0.018) at 48 hours during activity, compared with patients receiving no infiltration or placebo.

Most of the compounds demonstrated surface anaesthetic activity higher than that of lidocaine, ropivacaine and bupivacaine. We established that the local anaesthetic activity was sensitive to structural variations in the substitution pattern at the aromatic ring and the type of alkyl group at the proline nitrogen atom.
