Summary
This study is a randomized-clinical-trial on 146 patients candidate for total knee
arthroplasty (TKA) who were randomly allocated to three treatment groups, including 1) a
cocktail consisting of bupivacaine, morphine, epinephrine, and ketorolac (n=48), 2) only
epinephrine (placebo group) (n=49), and 3) 400mg celecoxib orally (control group) (n=49)
using Random Allocation software. The injections and oral therapy were performed within 15
minutes before the surgical procedure. The study's primary outcome was the Knee Society Score
(KSS) calculated at baseline, within six weeks and six months postoperatively. Range of
motion (ROM) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to assess pain intensity as the other primary
outcomes were evaluated before the procedure, within 24 hours, 48 hours, and six weeks
postoperatively.
