Journal: The Journal of arthroplasty

PMID: 30799269

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Enhanced postoperative care pathways have shifted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to outpatient and short-stay settings, placing greater emphasis on predischarge outcomes. In this study, we report prespecified secondary and tertiary end points of the PILLAR study within 24 hours after TKA in patients receiving local infiltration analgesia (LIA) with or without liposomal bupivacaine (LB).
