Comparative study between surgical wound catheter, femoral nerve block, and adductor canal block for postoperative analgesia after knee arthroplasty: A double blind randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: The present study compared the surgical wound catheter (SWC), femoral nerve block (FNB), and adductor canal block (ACB) for postoperative analgesia after knee arthroplasty.

Methods: The study included (180) patients scheduled for unilateral total knee replacement and were randomly allocated into three groups. Patients received postoperative analgesia via continuous infusion of ropivacaine 0.

Foot health and quality of life among adults in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Foot conditions are frequent among the Saudi population. However, little is known regarding the effects of foot health on quality of life among the general Saudi population. This study aimed to assess foot health status, general health, and quality of life among the population of Riyadh using the Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ).

High-resolution ultrasound as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of post-brachioplasty injury to the medial brachial and the medial antebrachial nerves - Two case reports.

Introduction: Injury to the medial brachial and the medial antebrachial nerves may occur after brachioplasty and may lead to severe pain. We report on two cases to demonstrate that high-resolution ultrasound may be used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of post-brachioplasty injury to these small cutaneous nerves.

Case Reports: We report on two cases.

Ultrasound imaging accurately identifies the intercostobrachial nerve.

Objective: To test the hypothesis that identification and blockade of the intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN) can be achieved under ultrasound (US) guidance using a small volume of local anesthetic.

Methods: Twenty-eight adult male volunteers were examined at King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from November 2012 to September 2013. Intercostobrachial nerve blockade was performed using one ml of 2% lidocaine under US guidance.

Efficacy of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block for postcesarean section delivery analgesia--a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study.

Background: Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has been used for intra-operative and postoperative analgesia. Here we evaluate the efficacy of TAP block for postoperative cesarean delivery analgesia.

Method: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed at King Khalid University Hospital on 40 patients undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine and fentanyl.
