This useful resource for the orthopedic surgeon addresses key issues in postsurgical pain management and multimodal care pathways. Among the topics discussed are recent advances in incorporation of local analgesics in postsurgical pain pathways, transition from nerve blocks to periarticular injections and emerging techniques in total joint arthroplasty, and case-based reviews of local infiltration of liposome bupivacaine in foot and ankle surgery and in orthopedic trauma patients.
