Core Tip

Core Tip: Clinicians should be aware of opioid toxicity in total knee arthroplasty patients. Cautions should be taken in the presence of kidney disorders. Tramadol and buprenorphine patches were commonly utilized in postoperative analgesia of knee arthroplasty. The combination of these drugs was not recommended and should be monitored for any adverse effects. It is better to use pre-emptive analgesia with minimum use of opioids.
