Background: Adductor canal blocks (ACBs) have been associated with reduced pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). There is a paucity of evidence regarding whether these early differences impact longer term outcomes. This study aimed to identify whether using ACB in TKA was associated with improvements in both early and late outcomes.

: In 2021, the Food and Drug Administration approved liposomal bupivacaine injectable suspension for single-dose infiltration in patients ≥ 6 years of age. Liposomal bupivacaine and bupivacaine hydrochloride admixtures may also be administered off-label for pediatric regional anesthesia including peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs). This single-injection, long-acting technique is not well described in pediatrics but may have benefits over traditional continuous catheter-based systems.

Introduction: therapeutic equivalence has been established in the effectiveness of peripheral nerve blocks in the management of pain in the postoperative period of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. However, it is unknown whether this effect is modulated by the anesthesiologist's experience. The objective was to describe the effectiveness of peripheral nerve blocks during the first 24 hours of the postoperative period, considering patient characteristics and the anesthesiologist's experience.

Total knee arthroplasty is a life-changing surgical procedure that is associated with a high incidence of severe postoperative pain. Key to enhancing recovery after surgery is effective analgesia and early mobilisation. Innovations in motor-sparing regional anaesthesia techniques that have improved recovery include targeted surgical local infiltration analgesia, adductor canal blockade, genicular nerve blocks, and the infiltration between the popliteal artery and posterior capsule of the knee (iPACK) block.
