Methods: In 154 knees of 77 patients, PMDI was administered intraoperatively through the regions other than posterior capsule to one knee; other knee was control. Results: Drug-injected knees had lower visual analog scale scores and higher passive range of motion postoperatively (p < 0.05). The active straight leg raise was higher in drug-injected knees (47 [61%] vs 19 [24.7%], p < 0.001). Conclusions: PMDI is a safe and effective method of early postoperative pain management in total knee arthroplasty when applied through regions other than posterior capsule.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPeriarticular Drug InjectionTotal Knee ArthroplastyRange of MotionVisual Analog Scale ScoresPostoperative Pain ManagementArticle12420521010.1016/j.jor.2015.05.012N/AQ2
