Chondrotoxicity of low pH, epinephrine, and preservatives found in local anesthetics containing epinephrine.
Am J Sports Med. 2010; (6): 1154-9
Recent clinical and basic science investigations have revealed the chondrotoxicity of local anesthetics, especially those containing epinephrine, administered via an intra-articular pain pump. However, the exact mechanism of toxicity is unknown. This study evaluates the chondrotoxicity of low pH, epinephrine, and preservatives found in commonly used local anesthetics.
