Implication

Observational analysis improved perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty, highlighting the effectiveness of a multimodal analgesic regimen.

Key Points

Patients using the multimodal analgesic regimen had a significantly shorter hospital length of stay.
TJRA protocol patients achieved discharge eligibility 1.7 days earlier than those using traditional opioids.
Joint range of motion was significantly improved in patients receiving peripheral nerve block.
Adverse events, such as urinary retention and ileus formation, were more common among control patients.
