Purpose Of Review: The prevention and treatment of wound-related procedural pain is one of the greatest areas of unmet need within wound management. Also referred to as 'Volitional Incident Pain', it is the most prevalent subtype of breakthrough pain experienced by patients afflicted with wounds. Novel formulations of existing analgesics are now available to address this challenge.
Recent Findings: This review focuses on the principles of breakthrough pain assessment including those patients with cognitive impairment. Current management principles are discussed with an emphasis on the novel formulations of fentanyl citrate that may be delivered through the sublingual, buccal, and nasal mucosal routes.
Summary: Novel formulations of fentanyl citrate, delivered through an array of noninvasive routes, allow for rapid-onset and short-acting effects that better match the onset and duration of wound-related procedural pain.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kanazawa University, 13-1 Takaramachi, Kanazawa, Ishikawa, 920-8641, Japan.
Introduction: Previous study did not clarify the correlation between the natural course of perioperative blood tests and occurrence of wound-related complications, including SSI, PJI, and delayed wound healing. This study aimed to investigate whether perioperative laboratory test is effective in identifying wound-related complications after THA.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective, single-institutional study enrolled 1072 patients who underwent primary THAs.

Article Synopsis
- * Chronic wounds particularly affect elderly and diabetic patients, often requiring repeated medical interventions to avoid complications like infections that can have severe local and systemic effects.
- * The article focuses on innovative treatments for wound healing and infection management, specifically the potential of bacteriophages and mesenchymal stem cells in improving healing processes and combating infections.
Efficacy of Different Doses of Intra-Articular Tranexamic Acid for Reducing Blood Loss and Lower Limb Swelling After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial.
Orthop Surg
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedics Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Objective: Both blood loss and lower extremity swelling after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can affect a patient's postoperative recovery. The aim of this trial was to investigate whether different doses of intra-articular tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce blood loss and postoperative lower limb swelling.
Methods: In a prospective, randomized-controlled trial, a total of 225 patients were randomly assigned to three groups from September 2020 through January 2021: intra-articular injections of 3 g, 1 g of TXA, or placebo (saline solution).
