ANALGESIC EFFECT OF ROPIVACAINE AFTER ARTHROSCOPIC RECONSTRUCTION OF THE LIGAMENT IN ATHLETES

EFEITO ANALGÉSICO DA ROPIVACAÍNA APÓS RECONSTRUÇÃO ARTROSCÓPICA DO LIGAMENTO EM ATLETAS

EL EFECTO DE LA ROPIVACAÍNA EN EL DOLOR DESPUÉS DE LA RECONSTRUCCIÓN ARTROSCÓPICA DE LIGAMENTOS DE UN ATLETA.

ABSTRACT

After arthroscopic ligament reconstruction, athletes still need to go through a postoperative rehabilitation training period and suffer the possible pain that can go from moderate to severe. Commonly used analgesic medications, ropivacaine and fentanyl have the effect of relieving athletes’ pain. To study the analgesic effect of ropivacaine on arthroscopic reconstruction of the knee ligament, the steps of reconstruction and pharmacology of ropivacaine were first introduced. Next, the analgesic effects of ropivacaine and fentanyl in 86 athletes were compared on muscle strength recovery, patient satisfaction, and pain score. The results showed that the satisfaction of patients with ropivacaine was 95.35%, and the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions was only 9.30%. These results indicate that ropivacaine has a better analgesic effect in arthroscopic reconstruction of the knee ligament in athletes, which is suitable for postoperative rehabilitation.
