Summary
Postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be difficult to manage and may
delay recovery. There are multimodal postoperative pain management after TKA, including
intravenous opioids, epidural analgesia, peripheral nerve blocks or periarticular
infiltration with local anesthetics. All of these treatments may lead to side effects such as
nausea, headache, hypotension, urinary retention, partial motor block and infection of the
knee. Therefore the investigators will compare three methods of postoperative analgesic after
TKA by their efficiency and complication.
