Background: The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of peri-articular injection of tranexamic acid (TXA) during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from clinical controlled trials.
Method: Eligible scientific articles published prior to October 2021 were retrieved from the PubMed, Springer, ScienceDirect and Cochrane Library databases. The statistical analysis was performed with RevMan 5.1.
Result: 2 RCTs and 3 non-RCTs met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed significant differences in terms of hemoglobin reduction (MD = -1.04, 95% CI: -1.33 to -.76, < .00001), total blood loss (MD = -342.80.70, 95% CI: -437.52 to -248.08, < .00001), drainage volume (MD = -297.24, 95% CI: -497.26 to -97.23, P = .004) and blood transfusion rate (OR = .30, 95% CI: .14 to .62, = .001) were found in the control group. No postoperative infection and deep venous thrombosis were found between 2 groups.
Conclusion: Peri-articular injection of TXA can effectively decrease perioperative blood loss and blood transfusion rate without increasing the incidence of postoperative complications during TKA.

Introduction: An adductor canal block (ACB) is widely accepted as a regional nerve block for pain management following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, no consensus exists concerning whether the analgesic effect is greater when joint surgeons perform intra-articular ACBs (IA-ACBs) or when anesthesiologists perform ultrasound-guided ACBs (UG-ACBs). We hypothesized that intra-articular ACBs (IA-ACBs) performed by joint surgeons and UG-ACBs performed by anesthesiologists based on peri-articular injections (PAI) would yield equivalent analgesic effects.

Introduction: Total knee arthroplasty is the commonest procedure being done for Osteoarthritis of knee in current practice. In spite of its success many patients suffer from post-operative pain especially in the early post-operative period. The study aimed to evaluate the pain relief and functional benefit of periarticular cocktail infiltration.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It not only causes pain and physical limitations but also impacts mental health, sleep, work participation, and even mortality. Peri-articular dextrose prolotherapy has been shown to reduce knee osteoarthritis pain; however, the effect of injection sites on its effectiveness is not clear.
