Background

The degree of postoperative pain is usually moderate to severe following Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). Comfort and lack of pain are important for optimal mobilization and earlier home discharge.

Aim

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ropivacaine, a long- acting local anaesthetic, when infiltrated in the wound at the end of operation of THA.
