Investigation of the intraoperative and postoperative pain-reducing effect of pethidine (meperidine) as compared with local anesthetics given into the ankle joint was performed, in a comparative and double-blind fashion, in 20 patients subjected to arthroscopy of the ankle, diagnostic and surgical procedures. These patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group A consisted of 10 patients receiving prilocaine 5% with adrenaline and the patients of group B received pethidine 5% with adrenaline intraarticularly. During arthroscopy, the patients reported on pain and discomfort using visual analog scales. Ratings did not differ between the two groups, but six patients would not have chosen the local anesthetic technique again. Postoperatively, all patients rated their pain and discomfort at rest and at movement (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 24 hours and at three times during 2 following days). No differences were found between the two groups, except for pain at rest through the whole observation period when significant lower values for pethidine. There were no differences in use of analgesics between the two groups. The current study indicates that pethidine is a potential alternative to prilocaine in arthroscopy of the ankle.
