Liposomal bupivacaine administration is not superior to traditional periarticular injection for postoperative pain management following total knee arthroplasty: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Abstract Background Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) is a relatively new formulation that slowly releases bupivacaine to extend its efficacy for 72–96 h. It is inconclusive whether LB offers better efficacy than traditional periarticular injection (TPAI) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Re...

description Abstract Background Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) is a relatively new formulation that slowly releases bupivacaine to extend its efficacy for 72–96 h. It is inconclusive whether LB offers better efficacy than traditional periarticular injection (TPAI) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were searched using electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science. Review Manager 5.4.1 was used for calculations. Results Sixteen RCTs were included in this meta-analysis. LB had better effects on morphine consumption equivalents during postoperative 24–48 h than TPAI. No significant difference was observed in pain relief, incidence of nausea and vomiting, or length of hospital stay between the two groups. Conclusion LB administration during TKA is not superior to TPAI. Studies with larger sample size are needed to validate our findings. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42022355094.
