Study Comparing Regional Anesthetic Blocks and Periarticular Infiltration for the Management of Post-operative Pain After Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty (DA THA pain)

November 15, 2016 updated by: John M. Redmond, M.D., Mayo Clinic

Prospective Randomized Study Comparing Regional Anesthetic Blocks and Periarticular Infiltration for the Management of Post-operative Pain After Direct Anterior Total Hip Replacement

To compare two methods of post-operative pain management in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. There is a perception that the periarticular injections may not be as effective in controlling post-operative pain.

Both methods are current standard of care. The investigators want to compare the outcomes of each when patients are randomized to one of the methods compared to the other method of post-operative pain control.

Design Details

  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: L2 paravertebral block
regional anesthetic nerve blocks using an L2 paravertebral block with ropivacaine
nerve block group will receive preoperatively a L2 paravertebral block with indwelling catheter
Active Comparator: periarticular injection group
periarticular local injection into the periarticular soft tissues at the time of hip replacement using a combination of ropivacaine, epinephrine, ketorolac and morphine sulphate (periarticular injection group).
periarticular injection group will receive the injection cocktail towards the end of the total hip replacement prior to skin closure.
