Postoperative pain relief after total knee arthroplasty: A Bayesian network meta-analysis and systematic review of analgesic strategies based on nerve blocks.
A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to compare the analgesic efficacy of the following nerve block techniques: femoral nerve block (FNB), adductor canal block (ACB), infiltration between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (iPACK), and genicular nerve block (GNB) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ PROSPERO (CRD42022362322).
