Summary
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate if intra- and postoperative administration of
ropivacaine, ketorolac and epinephrine into the operating field would affect morphine
consumption. Secondary end-points are hospital stay, pain intensity and side effects. In an
attempt to assess the safety of this technique, knee function and patient satisfaction scores
are assessed up to 3 months after surgery.
