December 19, 2018 updated by: Sylvia Wilson, Medical University of South Carolina

Improvement in Total Hip Arthroplasty Patient Outcomes With Regional Anesthesia and Multimodal Analgesia: A Retrospective Analysis

The goal of this retrospective chart review is to evaluate if the implementation of lumbar plexus block placement for postoperative pain and administration of multimodal oral analgesia have improved conditions in the postoperative period for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty when compared to the placement of epidurals for postoperative pain management.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Lumbar plexus
Patients received a preoperative lumbar plexus nerve block (20 ml, ropivacaine 0.5%) for postoperative pain management with one to four multimodal oral pain medications (acetaminophen, celecoxib, oxycodone ER, gabapentin, pregabalin) administered preoperatively or in the first 48 hours postoperatively.
Lumbar Epidural
Patients received a lumbar epidural preoperatively for postoperative pain management. Epidural infusions of ropivacaine 0.2% were initiated intraoperatively, administered until the morning of postoperative day 1, and titrated to patient comfort.
