Adductor canal block (ACB) has gained popularity for postoperative pain control after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, its role in TKA has been questioned recently. Our study aimed to clarify the role of ACB in reducing postoperative pain after TKA and to elucidate an optimal timing to perform ACB for better outcomes. We conducted a comprehensive review of the perioperative records of. BACKGROUND: This prospective double-blinded, randomized controlled trial compared adductor canal block (ACB) with femoral nerve block (FNB) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The authors hypothesized that ACB, compared with FNB, would exhibit less quadriceps weakness and demonstrate noninferior pain score and opioid consumption at 6 to 8 h postanesthesia. Placement of a catheter within the adductor canal can potentially spare the major motor branches of the femoral nerve while still providing effective postoperative pain control. 7, 8) However, only a few recent studies have compared the effect of femoral nerve block and adductor canal block on postoperative pain control after total knee. 08.04.2015.
