Periarticular analgesic injection containing a corticosteroid after total hip arthroplasty may prevent deep venous thrombosis: A retrospective comparative cohort study

Of late, periarticular analgesic injection (PAI) has become a common alternative treatment for pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA).

This study evaluated the analgesic efficacy and systemic effects of PAI containing a corticosteroid in patients subjected to THA.
