Comparison of 2 Peripheral Nerve Blocks Techniques for Functional Recovery and Postoperative Pain Management After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective, Double-Blinded, Randomized Trial

CONCLUSIONS The distal femoral triangle and distal adductor canal blocks resulted in significantly better motor function at the first 3 and 6 h after total knee arthroplasty. At 24 h after surgery, rescue opioid doses in the femoral nerve block group were significantly higher.PMID:34629461 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.932848
