The effects of local infiltration anesthesia and femoral nerve block analgesia after total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Local infiltration anesthesia (LIA) and femoral nerve block (FNB) are commonly used analgesia methods after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there is no definitive conclusion about which of these two analgesia modes is superior. Therefore, this study aimed to systematically evaluate the analgesic effects of LIA and FNB after TKA.
