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 hospital stay.
Secondary end-points are morphine consumption, 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 6 months after surgery.
