Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 11/03/09
Christensen CP et al. – The periarticular injection of a corticosteroid may reduce the length of the hospital stay following total knee arthroplasty, but it does not appear to improve pain relief, motion, or function in the early postoperative period. While the authors cannot definitively state that the corticosteroid was a causative factor in the development of the infection at the site of the prosthetic joint, the authors cannot rule it out either, which raises concern regarding the role of corticosteroids in perioperative pain management following total knee arthroplasty.
