Abstract

The mechanisms of pain and pain management can be complex. Often while reading current research papers on the physiology of pain, it is easy to get lost in the minutia of the mechanisms being investigated. It is important that orthopedic surgeons have a general understanding of the mechanisms of pain, maintain a current understanding of the new areas of pain management, and continue to refine their treatment regimes.
