Dexmedetomidine Prolongs the Analgesic Effects of Periarticular Infiltration Analgesia following Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective, Double-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.
Periarticular infiltration analgesia (PIA) is widely administered to relieve postoperative pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of prolonging the analgesic duration by adding dexmedetomidine to PIA for pain management after TKA.
