Comparative Analysis Of Influence Of Epidural Injection And Adductor Canal Block Versus Epidural Injection And Periarticular Infiltration Versus Epidural Injection Alone On Pain Relief And Knee Range Of Movements After Total Knee Arthroplasty” – A Prospective Non-Randomised Study

Abstract

Introduction: Postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a significant determinant of early rehabilitation and postoperative recovery in the patient. The last two decades have seen a significant improvement in the management of postoperative pain, with increase in popularity of multimodal analgesia regimens which include the use of both regional anesthesia and systemic analgesics. Aims: To compare the influence of epidural injection and adductor canal block versus epidural injection and periarticular infiltration versus epidural injection alone on pain relief and functional outcome of patients quality of life post total knee arthroplasty
