Postoperative Multimodal Pain Management and Opioid Consumption in Arthroscopy Clinical Trials: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To provide an updated review of multimodal pain management in arthroscopic surgery by evaluating pain and opioid consumption after shoulder, knee, and hip arthroscopy.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was performed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating multimodal pain management after shoulder, knee, and hip arthroscopy. Articles were identified from January 2011 through December 2020 using various databases. As the primary outcome variables of this study, differences in postoperative pain and opioid consumption volumes were summarized from all reported postoperative time points.

Results

37 shoulder, 28 knee, and 8 hip arthroscopy RCTs were included in the study. The most frequent bias present in the included RCTs was incomplet
