Abstract

Denisa Madalina Anastase* and Simona Cionac Florescu

Total arthroplasty of the Hip (THA) or Knee (TKA) are common surgery today. The treatment of postoperative pain continues to be a challenge because it influences the surgical outcome, early mobilization, shortened Length of Stay (LOS), and discharge. Among the changes in practice in the last decades, we have seen a global shift toward valuebased care focusing on patient optimization prior to surgery in order to increase the quality of life and improve the outcomes.
