Arthroscopic subacromial decompression may not improve pain relative to placebo surgery or provide clinically important benefits compared with no treatment in patients with subacromial shoulder pain.
In addition to preoperative femoral nerve block, the use of intra-articular anesthetic injections during arthroscopic hip surgery may offer effective post-procedural pain relief and be associated with a reduced risk for postoperative falls.
Results of the meta-analysis indicated that single-dose IA injection of Mg following arthroscopic knee surgery provided effective pain relief, with adverse effects no greater than those seen with placebo.
