Abstract
Effective pain control is essential in modern healthcare and is particularly important in orthopedics. Unfortunately, a perfect technique for pain management has yet to be developed. Currently, the use of local anesthetics together with adjunctive agents and, if necessary, opiates in moderation - a technique known as ‘multimodal analgesia’ - is thought to represent the best approach to surgical pain. This chapter will consider the various non-opioid analgesic adjuvants used in clinical practice today.
