Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of per-operative local infiltration
analgesia with ropivacaine 0,2 % (150 ML) versus placebo on acute postoperative pain
intensity after total hip arthroplasty.
The hypothesis is that local infiltration analgesia reduces the acute postoperative pain
intensity.
