Femoral Nerve Block In Old Age

Abstract

Background: Total Managing the discomfort that follows a knee arthroplasty (TKA), a popular orthopaedic treatment, may be difficult. Multimodal analgesia with femoral nerve block (FNB) has been used for TKA, although there are concerns concerning weakness in the quadriceps after the procedure. The purpose of this research is to evaluate how well FNB works as part of a multimodal analgesia programme for managing pain after total knee replacement. However, one of FNB's major drawbacks is the risk of quadriceps muscle weakness. Finally, in patients after total knee replacement, injectable FNB offered good analgesia, aided in early ambulation, and shortened the time of their acute hospital stay. Multimodal analgesia, which includes femoral, sciatic, lumbar, and adductor nerve blocks, is now suggested. Improving postoperative pain, patient satisfaction, recovery durations, and functional results after total knee arthroplasty necessitates the development of appropriate analgesic regimes. Multimodal analgesia, pain management, total knee replacement, early ambulation, and weakness in the quadriceps muscles are all terms that have been used to describe the effects of a TKA.
