Pre-operatively, the study group received as a single dose of 125\u00a0mg intravenous methylprednisolone, while the others saline solution as placebo. Peri-operatively, all the patients were administered opioid and nonopioid analgesic agents. We measured the levels of inflammatory markers (leukocytosis, C-reactive protein\u2014CRP), pain intensity level (visual analog scale\u2014VAS; numerical rating scale\u2014NRS), the life parameters, and noted complications.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Following administration of methylprednisolone were significantly lower levels of CRP on all the four post-operative days; leukocytosis on\u00a0the second day; the VAS\/NRS score at rest after six, 12, and 18\u00a0hours\u00a0post-operatively, diminished the dose of parenteral opioid preparations (oxycodone hydrochloride), the duration of analgesia by peripheral nerve block was significantly higher as compared with the placebo group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.000001).
