Brief summary

Adequate pain management has an important role in supporting early ambulation after the Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Multimodal analgesia is one of the modalities of overcoming postoperative pain. The use of combination Paracetamol and Ibuprofen injection is expected to reduce total morphine consumption after TKA.

Detailed description

The research will compare the effect of paracetamol injection and ibuprofen injection when given alone or in combination to reduce morphine requirement in a patient after total knee arthroplasty

Masking description

The study medication will be masked by the pharmacy. Participants, those administrating the intervention, other caregivers, outcome assessors, data managers, statisticians, and investigators drawing conclusions will be blinded to the intervention.

Intervention model description

Patients in Group 1 received a combination of 1000 mg IV paracetamol and 800 mg IV ibuprofen at the end of operation followed by 1000 mg IV paracetamol and 800 mg IV ibuprofen every 6 hours up to 72 hours. Patients in Group 2 received 1000 mg IV paracetamol and 100 ml IV normal salines at the end of operation followed by 1000 mg IV paracetamol and 100 ml IV normal salines every 6 hours up to 72 hours. Patients in Group 3 received 800 mg IV ibuprofen and 100 ml IV normal salines at the end of operation followed by 800 mg IV ibuprofen and 100 ml IV normal salines every 6 hours up to 72 hours.
