A Non-Opioid Solution for Periarticular Injection
An injection of ropivacaine, epinephrine, clonidine and ketorolac (R.E.C.K) is used as part of a multimodal pain regimen as a way to minimize postoperative pain and support patients’ recovery from their surgery.
Poor pain management can increase the cost of care, lead to lengthier hospital stays, reduce functional outcomes, result in chronic pain syndromes, side effects from chronic analgesic and opioid use.
