Abstract:
In this study, 79 patients undergoing arthroscopic meniscectomy were entered into a randomized double-blind controlled trial in which intraarticular bupivacaine (Marcaine), was compared with a saline placebo. Intraarticular bupivacaine was shown to be an effective and safe method of achieving analgesia after arthroscopic meniscectomy.
