Early post-operative pain control is essential to facilitate rapid recovery after orthopaedic surgery. Despite periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) being the gold standard treatment of prearthritic hip dysplasia, there is limited evidence assessing efficacy of early post-operative pain management strategies. Recent literature has focused on non-opioid supplemental treatments such as nerve blocks or local wound infiltration. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess efficacy of these interventions to reduce pain, facilitate mobilization, reduce length of stay after PAO surgery.BackgroundEarly post-operative pain control is essential to facilitate rapid recovery after orthopaedic surgery. Despite periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) being the gold standard treatment of prearthritic hip dysplasia, there is limited evidence assessing efficacy of early post-operative pain management strategies. Recent literature has focused on non-opioid supplemental treatments such as nerve blocks or local wound infiltration. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess efficacy of these interventions to reduce pain, facilitate mobilization, reduce length of stay after PAO surgery.A systematic review was created under the guidance of PRISMA from databases that included PubMed, OVID Medline, Embase, SCOPUS, Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials, and clinicaltrials.gov from their creation dates to 12/21/23. These studies were screen based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria.MethodsA systematic review was created under the guidance of PRISMA from databases that included PubMed, OVID Medline, Embase, SCOPUS, Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials, and clinicaltrials.gov from their creation dates to 12/21/23. These studies were screen based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria.A total of six studies were included in this analysis from independent institutions. Three investigated nerve blocks (fascia iliaca, pericapsular, transversus abdominis), one investigated local wound infiltration with ropivacaine, one investigated high-dose dexamethasone, and the last investigated removal of the epidural catheter on postoperative (POD) 1 compared to POD 2. There were heterogeneous outcomes that were measured from these studies. In general, nerve blocks decreased opioid use, pain, and length of hospital stay. The local wound infiltration decreased pain on POD 3 and 4. Removing the epidural catheter on POD1 compared to POD 2 decreased pain and length of stay. High-dose dexamethasone use decreased opioid use on POD 1, otherwise, there was no difference in pain.ResultsA total of six studies were included in this analysis from independent institutions.

Limiting opioid use after surgery reduces known negative consequences of the medication and facilitates rapid recovery. Clinical trials are needed that assess efficacy of supplemental pain management strategies after PAO surgery. Level of Evidence: II.ConclusionIn summary, supplemental pain management strategies peri-operatively for PAO surgery can decrease pain, opioid use, and length of hospital stay, though there are few studies assessing these interventions.
