Total knee replacement (TKR) is a common procedure in treating severe knee pathology. Pain after TKR commonly occurs. Periarticular Injection (PAI) using steroid is one of the methods for pain management after TKR but there is still no evidence on which steroid to use. Particulate and non-particulate steroid are commonly differentiated when choosing which steroid to use for injection. Case : Studies assessing the effect of periarticular steroid as an adjuvant for postoperative TKR analgesics from PubMed, Cochrane library, and Embase from 2011-2021. From the 300 identified paper through database searching, seven studies were finally included for the qualitative synthesis. In terms of VAS difference, studies in the particulate group showed bigger VAS reduction in the early postoperative days (POD) compared to later PODs
