and four hours post-operatively. Total opiate consumption was also recorded. The result: There was significantly less post-operative pain in group A (Bupivacaine intra-articular and periportal skin infiltration), compared with group C (no infiltration) immediate postoperatively and one hour post-operatively, and compared with group B (Bupivacaine periportal skin infiltration) two hours and four hours post-operatively. There were no significant differences in visual analogue scores between groups B and C at any time-points. Group A used significantly less opiates post-operatively compared with group B or C but there was no significant difference in opiate use between groups B and C. Dr Bunn: "Intra-articular local anaesthetic significantly reduces post-operative pain, but at what cost to the chondral surface? Local skin infiltration of the arthroscopy portals does not significantly alter pain levels or opiate requirements. Avoidance of "intra-articular" local anaesthetic raises opiate requirements. We require improved alternative analgesic regimes." Abstracts: EFORT 2009 Abstract: Sharma A et al, Errors in prescription of regular medication in emergency surgical admissions-clinical audit.
