Study to Test the Efficacy of Periarticular Levo Bupivicaine Injection Following Primary Hip Arthroplasty
April 16, 2010 updated by: Orthopaedic Research and Innovation Foundation, Ireland
A Double Blind Randomized Control Trial on the Efficacy of Periarticular Levo Bupivicaine Injection Following Primary Hip Arthroplasty
The hypothesis of this study is that isolated use of local periarticular levobupivicaine injection during primary hip arthroplasty would improve post-operative pain control.
Patients were randomised in the operating room to receive either a periarticular infiltration, or a placebo consisting of Saline.
Morphine and analgesic consumption was recorded for each patient, while the modified McGill pain scale was used to determine the adequacy of analgesia and the benefit of the peri-articular infiltration.
91 patients were recruited, with 45 patients in the treatment group and 46 controls.
The results were assessed after one year, once all the information from both treatment groups was collected.

Detailed Description
The efficacy of periarticular injections during total knee arthroplasty is well established but there is little published data on their effect in primary hip arthroplasty.
We hypothesized that isolated use of local periarticular levobupivicaine injection during primary hip arthroplasty would improve post-operative pain control.
A double blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled trial on patients undergoing primary hip arthroplasty was performed.
Patients were randomised in theatre to receive either a periarticular infiltration of 150mg levobupivicaine in 60mls of 0.9% Saline, or a placebo consisting of 60mls 0.9% Saline.
Morphine and analgesic consumption was recorded for each patient, while the modified McGill pain scale was used to determine the adequacy of analgesia and the benefit of the peri-articular infiltration.
91 patients were recruited, with 45 patients in the treatment group and 46 controls.
The results were assessed after one year, once all the information from both treatment groups was collected.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Levobupivacaine
Levobupivacaine is indicated for local anaesthesia including infiltration, nerve block, ophthalmic, epidural and intrathecal anaesthesia in adults; and infiltration analgesia in children
|
The treatment group received 150mg of levobupivicaine in 60mls of 0.9% saline.
This was injected intra-operatively through the medial and anterior capsular spaces in the region of the obturator and femoral nerves and also around the short rotators and gluteus maximus in the region of the inferior and superior gluteal nerves.
The timing of this was after insertion of the acetabular component.
10mls was then infiltrated around the tensor fascia lata and subcutaneously prior to closing the wound.
|
Placebo Comparator: Saline
Saline (also saline solution) is a general term referring to a sterile solution of sodium chloride (NaCl, more commonly known as salt) in water but is only sterile when it is placed intravenously, otherwise, a saline solution is a salt water solution.
|
The placebo group received 60mls of 0.9% saline injected intra-operatively through the medial and anterior capsular spaces in the region of the obturator and femoral nerves and also around the short rotators and gluteus maximus in the region of the inferior and superior gluteal nerves.
The timing of this was after insertion of the acetabular component.
10mls was then infiltrated around the tensor fascia lata and subcutaneously prior to closing the wound.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
To determine a significant difference (p>0.05) in morphine consumption between the two treatment groups post-operatively.
Time Frame: 1 year
|
The modified McGill pain scale was administered to determine the adequacy of analgesia and the benefit of the peri-articular infiltration.
In addition, morphine and analgesic consumption was recorded for each patient.
The results were assessed after one year, once all the information from both treatment groups was collected.
