Abstract
PURPOSE
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is often associated with severe postoperative pain. Various agents, routes, and modes are used for the treatment of postoperative pain with a minimum of side effects. This systematic work was conducted to compare the postoperative effect of subacromial patient-controlled analgesia with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia after an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery.
DESIGN
A systematic review of relevant studies were retrieved from electronic databases and included based on criteria and eligibility.
METHODS
The articles were retrieved from 1997 to 2018 by computerized searches of Scopus, PubMed, and EMBASE using different combinations of search terms, such as shoulder, rotator cuff, analgesic, analgesia, arthroscopic, pain, cuff repair, rotator cuff repair, acromion, and intravenous.
FINDINGS
A total of 10 articles were included in this study from the initial search of 778 records. Compared with subacromial procedure, the intravenous procedure helps in reducing the postoperative pain but with more side effects.
CONCLUSIONS
This study described that the direct continuous infusion of anesthetic under subacromial analgesic pump showed a greater pain relief with less side effects compared with intravenous infusion for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
