• Status: Terminated

Summary

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.

Conditions

• Degenerative Joint Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	L2 paravertebral block	nerve block group will receive preoperatively a L2 paravertebral block with indwelling catheter
OTHER	periarticular injection group	periarticular injection group will receive the injection cocktail towards the end of the total hip replacement prior to skin closure.
