A review of analgesia for knee surgery.
This review demonstrates that there are inadequate data to draft a protocol in pain management after knee surgery. The review is intended to provide a stimulus for those who manage their orthopedic patients in a particular manner to test their pain management strategy in a random, prospective, controlled manner. They should aim to provide a data base that will assist in solving the knee surgery conundrums which inhibit identification of the most efficacious delivery of analgesia.
