English
Authors' recommendations:
Based on results from 2 SRs that were limited in their ability to meta-analyse because of their heterogeneous studies and outcome measures, the following conclusions were made in regards to IA analgesia for knee arthroscopy:
There is very low quality evidence of an improvement in pain with IA-bupivacaine or IA-morphine in comparison to placebo.
There is low to very low quality evidence of a reduction in the number of additional analgesics required with IA-bupivacaine or IA-morphine in comparison to placebo.
No systematic reviews were identified that reported on the effectiveness of IA analgesia on return to daily activity.
