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.

prioritizes your well-being and guide you through a pain-free rehabilitation
process.
