Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of combining a single-shot adductor canal block (ACB) with ropivacaine infusion through an intra-articular catheter (IAC) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to improve pain relief compared to ACB alone.
- - Results showed that patients receiving the combined treatment experienced significantly lower pain scores at various postoperative intervals and had better knee flexion compared to those receiving just ACB with a placebo.
- - Fewer patients in the combined treatment group needed additional pain relief for breakthrough pain, indicating that the approach may enhance overall pain management after surgery.
