Abstract

Many authors have studies to relieve the pain after arthniscopic knee surgery. We undertook a randomized, double-blind trial to compare the efficacy of intraarticular morphme and bupivacaine between arthroscopic meniscus surgery group and cruciate ligament reconstruction group. As an results, intraarticular injection of morphine-bupivacaine combination is effective to control pain after minor athroscopic surgery such as menisectomy and meniscal repair ancf intraarticu]ar injection of mor- phine-bupivacaine combination is not effective to relieve pain after major arthroscopic surgery including cru- ciate ligament reconstruction. So, more potent analgesics should be adminishated.
