The Chitranjan Ranawat Award: Periarticular Injections and Femoral Sciatic Blocks Provide Similar Pain Relief After TKA: A Randomized Clinical Trial

摘要

BackgroundTwo of the more common methods of pain management after TKA are peripheral nerve blocks and intraarticular/periarticular injections. However, we are not aware of any study directly comparing the commonly used combination of a continuous femoral block given with a single-shot sciatic block with that of a periarticular injection after TKA.
