Does multimodal pain management improve postoperative outcomes compared to narcotic analgesia alone in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty?
Multimodal pain management is critical for minimizing postoperative complications following total joint arthroplasty.
Michael P. Nett (2010) conducted a review in Postoperative pain following total joint arthroplasty. Multimodal pain management vs. Narcotic analgesia alone was evaluated. Multimodal pain management approaches are necessary for effective postoperative pain control following joint replacement surgery, as reliance on narcotic analgesia alone is suboptimal.
