Local infiltration analgesia with levobupivacaine compared with intrathecal morphine in total hip arthroplasty patients

Recently, local infiltration analgesia (LIA) has been promoted for pain control after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We hypothesized that LIA would offer equal analgesic efficacy but less adverse effects, e.g., nausea and vomiting, when compared with an established regimen [intrathecal morphine (it‐M)] after THA.
