Managing Post-Operative Pain after Knee Replacement Surgery

 

Total knee arthroplasty, also known as knee replacement surgery, is a popular orthopedic technique used to improve functionality and relieve pain in patients with significant knee joint degeneration. Effective post-operative pain management is crucial for a successful recovery and patient satisfaction. Following knee replacement surgery, Dr. Biren Nadkarni along with anesthesia team promotes a multimodal strategy that combines different techniques to maximize pain treatment and improve patient well-being overall.

The Multimodal approach integrates many therapies that focus on distinct pain pathways.

• Preemptive Analgesia: Administering pain medications before surgery can preemptively block pain signals, providing early relief.
• Peripheral Nerve Blocks: Targeted nerve blocks can significantly reduce post-operative pain. In order to attain efficient pain management during the initial postoperative phase, we suggest integrating peripheral nerve blocks, such as femoral nerve blocks and adductor canal block into the surgical technique.
• Intraoperative Analgesia: To ensure a consistent level of pain reduction during surgery, a combination of analgesic drugs is used.  We employ regional anesthesia techniques, such as epidurals, to manage pain during the surgical procedure itself.
• Intraoperative Periarticular Cocktail injection: A periarticular cocktail injection used during surgery improves early knee motion and dramatically lowers early postoperative discomfort.
• Physical Therapy: Early mobilization and rehabilitation are integral components of the multimodal approach. We incorporate physical therapy programs tailored to each patient's needs, promoting joint function and reducing pain through guided exercises.

By adopting a multimodal approach, we can optimize post-operative pain management for their knee replacement patients, leading to faster recovery, better patient satisfaction, and reduced risks associated with opioid use.
