Introduction: Periarticular multimodal analgesic injection associates with less postoperative (post-op) pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with less opioid consumption. The combination of additives and dosage are various and controversial. Evidence of ketorolac compared to triamcinolone as an additive is limited in terms of efficacy and safety.

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible use of the vibration sensor to detect if the needle tip was at the knee intra-articular position by characterizing the frequency component of the vibration signal during empty syringe air injection.
Methods: Two milliliters of air were injected supero-laterally at extra- and intra-articular positions of a cadaveric knee joint, using needles of size 18, 21 and 24 gauge (G).
Background: The Japanese Orthopaedic Association Cervical Myelopathy Evaluation Questionnaire (JOACMEQ) was developed to resolve problems associated with the original evaluation of cervical myelopathic patients. The aim of this study was to translate the JOACMEQ into Thai as per international recommendations, and to test its reliability and validity in the Thai context
Methods: The JOACMEQ was translated into Thai, using international guidelines. Cervical myelopathy patients (n = 70; 31 males) were asked to complete the Thai version JOACMEQ twice (4 weeks apart).
