We proposed a genicular nerve block with low volume of local anaesthetic. The aim of our study is to evaluate the periarticular distribution of these blocks in a fresh cadaver model and to describe the technique in a preliminary group of patients submitted to TKA.In the anatomical phase, 4 ...

Genicular nerve blockKnee arthroplastyChronic TKA painBackground Chronic knee pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common complication that is difficult to treat. This report aims to highlight the benefit of combining embolotherapy and neurolysis intervention for symptomatic relief of post-TKA...
The postoperative pain management for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains controversial. This work aimed to assess the role of adductor canal block (ACB) and genicular nerve block (GNB) on postoperative pain and the possibility of enhanced recovery in patients undergoing TKA.#This randomized trial...
Background and Aims Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with intense postoperative pain, for which continuous femoral triangle block (FTB) and infiltration between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (iPACK) block have been used. Recently, genicular nerve blocks (...
Objectives: To compare the efficacy of genicular block and interspace between the popliteal artery and the posterior capsule (IPACK) block in the reduction of postoperative pain, the need for rescue analgesics, and the effects on a range of motion (ROM) in ...
