Local infiltration vs epidural analgesia for postoperative pain control after total knee or hip arthroplasty: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Abstract
Inconsistent results have been obtained regarding postoperative pain control using local infiltration and epidural analgesia for patients after total knee or hip arthroplasty (TKA and THA). We therefore conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the efficacy and safety of local infiltration vs epidural analgesia for TKA and THA.
