Meta AnalysisContinuous nerve block versus single-shot nerve block for total knee arthroplasty: a meta-analysis from randomised controlled trials.
This meta-analysis aims to determine whether continuous nerve block (CNB) provides better pain relief and functional recovery than single-shot nerve block (SSNB) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ CNB and SSNB have similar effects on pain relief, complications and functional recovery in patients receiving TKA. The optimal analgesic regimen for patients after TKA needs further identification.
