Background: Acetabular cup positioning is an important technical aspect in total hip arthroplasty. Most surgeons estimate cup abduction angle during surgery with the insertion rod position according to the patients body anatomical landmarks or other reference points in the operating room. High acetabular component abduction angle is associated with an increased risk of dislocation, premature polyethylene wear and osteolysis.

Background: Although numerous methods of postoperative analgesia have been investigated in an attempt to improve pain control after total knee arthroplasty, parenteral narcotics still play a major role in postoperative pain management. Local anesthetics have the advantage of blocking pain conduction at its origin and minimizing the systemic side effects associated with postoperative narcotic use. This study was performed to evaluate the benefits and safety of a multimodal analgesia protocol that included periarticular injection of large doses of local anesthetics in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
