| Summary: | This review is a literature review based on articles gathered over the previous 10 years from scientific search engines. To divide pain management following total joint arthroplasty into segments. The pain is frequently connected with incision pain induced by surgical damage to a major peripheral nerve and differs in quality and location from pain experienced before surgery. Acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and opioid analgesia are the three categories of medicines used to manage postsurgical pain. These medications can be used as pre-emptive analgesia or as part of a multimodal analgesia regimen. Multimodal analgesia is the most common therapy for postoperative pain following joint replacement. This medication is meant to lessen the risk of negative effects that may arise after taking opioids. |
