Brief Summary: This is an add-on double blind and randomised clinical trial with three groups a homeopathic group a placebo group and a temporal control group

The aim of this trial is to assess the effect of homeopathy on the consumption of morphine delivered by PCA patient control analgesia for 24 hours after a knee ligamentoplasty
Detailed Description: We test the effectiveness of an homeopathic drug versus placebo and a temporal control group patient with no add-on treatment following orthopedic knee surgery

All patients have a PCA of morphine for 24 hours after surgery After this period they can take an oral tablet of morphine on request

Group A Patients with study treatment homeopathy allocation Double blind group with 70 patients

Group B Patients with placebo allocation Double blind group with 70 patients

Group C Temporal control group with patients who take only the morphine Open group with 25 patients

The total power 70 70 25 165 patients

Main Objective

To assess the effect of homeopathy in terms of morphine consumption delivered by PCA patient control analgesia for 24 hours after a knee ligamentoplasty

Secondary Objectives

To assess the effect of homeopathy in terms of total morphine consumption between H24 and H72 after a knee ligamentoplasty
To assess the effect of homeopathy on the pain perception using a analogical visual scale for 72 hours
To asses the placebo effect of the homeopathic treatment

Main Assessment Criterion

Morphine consumption delivered by PCA between 0 and 24 hours after knee ligamentoplasty

Secondary Assessment Criteria

Morphine consumption between 0 and 72 hours after ligamentoplasty
Pain assessment at H0 H4 H24 and H72 using 10 cm Analogical Visual Scale

Inclusion Criteria

age ranging from 18 to 60
patients candidates for a ligamentoplasty of the anterior cruciate ligament

Exclusion Criteria

patient with corticoid and immunodepressor treatment
