A continuous peripheral nerve block, also termed “perineural local anesthetic infusion,”
involves the percutaneous insertion of a catheter adjacent to a peripheral nerve, followed by …

Background and Objectives Femoral nerve block (FNB), a commonly used postoperative
pain treatment after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), reduces quadriceps muscle strength …

BACKGROUND: Continuous peripheral nerve blocks (CPNB) may induce muscle
weakness, and multiple recently published series emphasize patient falls after …

Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with intense post‐operative pain.
Besides providing optimal analgesia, reduction in side effects and enhanced mobilization …

Background By targeting the distal branches of the femoral nerve in the mid-thigh, the
adductor canal block (ACB) can preserve quadriceps muscle strength while providing …

BACKGROUND: Adductor canal block (ACB) has emerged as an appealing alternative to
femoral nerve block (FNB) that produces a predominantly sensory nerve block by …

Total knee arthroplasty is associated with intense, early post-operative pain. Femoral nerve
block is known to provide optimal pain relief but reduces the strength of the quadriceps …

BACKGROUND: Adductor canal blocks have shown promise in reducing postoperative pain
in total knee arthroplasty patients. No randomized, controlled studies, however, evaluate the …

The objective of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to determine the risk for falls
after major orthopaedic surgery with peripheral nerve blockade. Electronic databases from …
