Significantly Earlier Ambulation and Reduced Risk of Near-Falls with Continuous Infusion Nerve Blocks: A Retrospective Pilot Study of Adductor Canal Block Compared to Femoral Nerve Block in Total Knee Arthroplasty
2021-11-30
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> One option in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) perioperative pain management is femoral nerve block (FNB). Its association with quadriceps weakness has led to a focus on adductor canal block (ACB), with the aim of avoiding weakness in adjacent muscles. This study reviewed cases at our institution. <h4>Methods:</h4> In this pilot non-blinded study, nerve block (FNB or ACB) was performed under ult...
