Abstract
Abstract
Background
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of intrathecal morphine (ITM) analgesia and local infiltration analgesia (LIA) for pain control in total joint arthroplasty (TJA).
Methods
Embase, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). All RCTs were comparing intrathecal analgesia and local infiltration analgesia in TJA. Primary outcomes were the visual analog scale (VAS) score with rest or mobilization up to 72 h. Secondary outcomes were the total morphine consumption, length of hospital stay, and morphine-related complications.
Results
Compared with the intrathecal analgesia group, the LIA group was associated with a reduction in VAS score with rest up to 72 h. Moreover, LIA was associated with a decrease in VAS score with mobilization at 6 h, 12 h, 48 h, and 72 h. Moreover, LIA significantly reduced total morphine consumption (weighted mean difference (WMD) = − 15.37, 95% CI − 22.64 to − 8.83, P = 0.000), length of hospital stay (WMD = − 1.39, 95% CI − 1.67 to − 1.11, P = 0.000), and morphine-related complications (nausea and pruritus).
Conclusions
Local infiltration provided superior analgesia and morphine-sparing effects within the first 72 h compared with ITM following TJA.
