Acta Orthop 2009; 80:213-219. The authors studied 40 patients undergoing UKA under general anaesthesia. They found that local LIA periarticularly at the end of the operation and intra-articularly at 21 h postoperatively provided excellent pain relief and earlier home discharge following UKA. There was a high degree of patient satisfaction in all patients after 6 months.

In order to determine wound spread through a 15cm multiholed catheter versus triple-orifice epidural catheters, the authors injected a bolus of local anaesthetics and found that there is a similar spread with subfascial catheter placement in total hip arthroplasty.

In this editorial, the authors summarize current literature on chondrotoxicity of local anaesthetics. The dose-dependent and time-dependent human chondrotoxicity of local anaesthetics, particularly bupivacaine, would suggest that prolonged, continuous intra-articular administration of higher concentrations of bupivacaine may result in adverse clinical effects, whereas a single injection of low-concentration bupivacaine appears to be well tolerated.
