Severe acute pain following trauma or same-day surgery is the most common reason for patient visits to the emergency department or for hospital readmission. Poorly controlled postoperative pain is among the most common of comlaints encountered by orthopedic caregivers and remains a major cause of patient dissatisfaction and delayed hospital discharge.

This handbook discusses the challenges in the management of orthopedic surgical pain and provides information on multimodal analgesia for patients recovering from orthopedic surgery. Anagesic options for total knee and hip arthroplasty, shoulder replacement, spine and back orthopedic surgery, ankle and foot surgery, and other procedures are discussed.
