Different peripheral nerve blocks for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To comprehensively compare the effect of different peripheral nerve blocks for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Materials and methods

PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were comprehensively searched. The outcomes included postoperative pain, postoperative function, adverse events, oral morphine equivalent (OME), and perioperative indicators. Network plots, forest plots, league tables and rank probabilities were drawn for all outcomes.

Results

Totally 30 studies were included. For postoperative pain, continuous adductor canal block (cACB) + genicular nerve block (GNB) was most likely to be the most effective block regarding rest pain score at 24 h; cACB + GNB was most likely to result in the lowest rest pain score at 48
