Article Synopsis
- Shoulder arthroplasty is growing in popularity, and effective postoperative pain management is crucial for successful outcomes, with liposomal bupivacaine (LB) emerging as a potential solution for extended pain relief.
- A clinical trial compared two methods: continuous interscalene nerve block (CISB) and a single shot of LB, evaluating pain control, narcotic use, patient satisfaction, and functional outcomes in 70 patients post-surgery.
- The study found LB provided similar pain relief to CISB within the first 24 hours but showed higher long-term shoulder function scores, fewer complications, and lower overall costs, suggesting LB is an effective alternative in pain management for shoulder arthroplasty.
Purpose: To determine the role of arthroscopic knot-tying instrumentation in achieving knot security.
Type Of Study: Biomechanical study.
Methods: The security achieved by 3 different commercially available knot-tying instruments using No.
Background: Appropriate suture selection is necessary in providing mechanical stability to soft tissue reconstructions. Caprolactone/glycolide (Panacryltrade mark) became a popular suture, possessing excellent handling properties; however, clinical observations questioned the knot security of caprolactone/glycolide. Caprolactone/glycolide is still available on many commercial suture anchor systems.
