Brief summary

Postoperative administration of local anesthetics is effective for postoperative pain management across surgical specialties but the optimal type of catheter (single, few or multiholed catheters) has not been determined. This study investigates wound spread of a radioactive isotope (technetium) administered in different types of catheters after total hip arthroplasty.

Interventions

OTHER2 mBq radioactive technetium diluted in 20 mL saline
