This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial evaluating three groups. The groups are: Group 1 (Control): Subjects that receive only the existing standard-of-care multimodal pain management protocol and do not receive post-operative intra-articular catheter. Group 2 (Investigational Treatment/Intervention): Subjects that receive the brand 1 intra-articular catheter pump with existing standard-of-care multimodal pain management protocol in the immediate post-operative period. Group 3 (Investigational Treatment/Intervention): Subjects that receive the newer brand 2 intra-articular catheter pump with existing standard-of-care multimodal pain management protocol in the immediate post-operative period.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of one of two continuous local infiltration analgesia (intra-articular catheter device) on patient postoperative pain scores following primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty in comparison to no addition of an intra-articular (IART) catheter post total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The investigators hypothesize that if patients undergoing primary unilateral TKA surgery receive an intra-articular catheter device that continuously delivers local infiltration analgesia in the postoperative period, then their postoperative pain scores on the visu…
