Efficacy of Adductor Canal Blocks in Total Knee Arthroplasty

The Journal of Knee Surgery, 2021
AbstractTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with significant postoperative pain. The population receiving TKA is generally elderly and often have multiple comorbidities that can present a challenge to postoperative management. Safe and effective multimodal pain management has led to improved outcomes while minimizing complications and side ...

The Adductor Canal Block: a Clinical Review

Current Anesthesiology Reports, 2019
To provide an overview of the adductor canal block (ACB), with specific discussion on its scope of practice in regional anesthesia for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ACB is emerging as a viable alternative to femoral nerve block (FNB) as a purely sensory blockade providing comparable postoperative analgesia after TKA.

Adductor canal block for knee surgical procedures: review article

Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, 2016
Adductor canal block (ACB) has recently emerged as an alternative to femoral nerve block for pain control after various knee procedures especially knee arthroplasty. In this review article, we will review the anatomy of adductor canal, sonoanatomy, and ultrasound-guided approach for ACB as well as review current evidence regarding the indications of ...

ADDUCTOR CANAL BLOCK IN TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

Military Medicine, 2023
Osteoarthritis of the knee is a degenerative disease, usually the result of wear and tear and progressive loss of articular cartilage. Osteoarthritis is a progressive disease that can eventually lead to disability. Total knee replacement is considered an effective surgical treatment for severe degenerative osteoarthritis of the knee, to relieve pain ...

The Adductor Canal Block

2015
The adductor canal block (ACB), or more precisely the saphenous nerve block in the adductor canal, is a single-shot or continuous technique for anesthesia and analgesia of the knee and medial leg. Moreover, claims that this block can provide comparable regional anesthesia to the femoral block for surgical procedures of the knee, yet with less motor ...

Iatrogenic Pseudoaneurysm After Continuous Adductor Canal Block

A & A Case Reports, 2016
No major complications have been associated with the ultrasound-guided continuous adductor canal block (cACB). We present a case of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm in a branch of the superficial femoral artery in a 44-year-old patient after a cACB for knee surgery. Both anesthesia and surgery were completed uneventfully.

Increasing patient safety during adductor canal block

Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine, 2020
To the editor, The letter from Gleicher and Peacock reporting a case of local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) following ultrasound guided adductor canal block (ACB)[1][1] is an important reminder of the need to be fastidious in the conduct of regional anesthesia.

Adductor Canal Block Can Result in Motor Block of the Quadriceps Muscle

Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2014
The block of nerves in the adductor canal is considered to cause a sensory block without a motor component. In this report, we describe a case of significant quadriceps muscle weakness after an adductor canal block (ACB).A 65-year-old female patient for ambulatory knee surgery was given an ACB for postoperative pain management.

Comparison of Adductor Canal Block and Femoral Triangle Block for Total Knee Arthroplasty

The Clinical Journal of Pain, 2020
Objectives: Adductor canal block (ACB) could provide effective postoperative pain control for patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, some authors pointed out that the ACB as originally described may be more similar to a femoral triangle block (FTB). Recent neuroanatomic evidences made the authors conjecture that
