Background: With the increasing interest in fast recovery and outpatient joint arthroplasty, short-acting local anesthetic agents and minimal narcotic use are preferred. Lidocaine is a fast-onset, short-duration local anesthetic that has been used for many years in spinal anesthesia. However, lidocaine spinal anesthesia has been reported to have a risk of transient neurologic symptoms (TNSs). The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of single-dose lidocaine spinal anesthesia in the setting of outpatient joint arthroplasty.
Methods: We performed a prospective study on 50 patients who received lidocaine spinal anesthesia in the setting of outpatient hip and knee arthroplasty. All patients received a single-shot spinal injection, with 2% isobaric lidocaine along with titrated propofol sedation. We evaluated demographic data, length of motor blockage, time to ambulation, time to discharge readiness, patient-reported symptoms of TNS.
Results: Of the 50 patients studied, 11 had total hip arthroplasty, 33 total knee arthroplasty, 5 unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and 1 underwent isolated polyethylene liner exchange in a total knee arthroplasty. The average total duration of motor blockade was 2.89 hours (range 1.73-5.17, standard deviation 0.65). Average time from postanesthesia care unit to return of motor function was 0.58 hours (range 0-1.5, standard deviation 0.48). None of the patients reported TNS.
Conclusions: Isobaric lidocaine spinal anesthesia appears to be a safe and effective regimen for outpatient hip and knee arthroplasty. All patients were discharged on the day of surgery with isobaric lidocaine spinal injection. There were no reports of TNSs.

A 78-year-old female with a remote history of L3-4 decompression and fusion presented with several months of low back and radicular leg pain. MRI revealed moderate L2-L3 spinal canal stenosis, ligamentum flavum infolding, moderate bilateral foraminal stenosis, and a grade I retrolisthesis. A right sided L2-L3 TFESI was performed using multiplanar fluoroscopic imaging with a subpedicular supraneural approach.

Purpose: Surgical treatments for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) include posterior spinal fusion (PSF) and vertebral body tethering (VBT), but there is limited data that compares pain between these groups. We aimed to compare postoperative pain between these patients through inpatient opioid use and opioid prescriptions post-discharge.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients diagnosed with AIS who underwent PSF or VBT surgery was reviewed to determine LOS, inpatient opioid use, and opioids prescribed post-discharge.

The obturator nerve variably gives off the anterior, posterior, and hip articular branches along its course; however, all branches invariably pass through the obturator canal. Herein, we describe our obturator nerve block technique, which promises to deliver local anesthetic directly into the obturator canal. We performed the obturator nerve block in six patients undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumor under spinal anesthesia.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of intravenous lidocaine on sensory block duration during total knee replacement (TKR) surgery under spinal anesthesia.
- It involved 28 patients divided into two groups: one receiving lidocaine and the other a control, comparing outcomes like sensory block duration, motor block, and pain scores post-surgery.
- Results showed that the lidocaine group had a significantly longer sensory block, reduced need for postoperative pain relief, and lower pain scores compared to the control group, indicating its effectiveness as an adjunct analgesic.

Background: Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) and pain commonly arises postoperatively in patients who undergo intra-operative urinary catheterization. The study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of intravenous lidocaine to prevent CRBD and postoperative pain in complex lumbar spinal surgery.
Methods: Eighty male patients, aged 20-79 years, scheduled for elective fusion spine surgery at least two levels were randomly assigned to receive either intravenous lidocaine (1.
