To review all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the analgesic efficacy of adductor canal block (ACB), periarticular infiltration (PAI), and any other mode of these treatments in analgesia, such as PAI with liposomal bupivacaine (LB), continuous adductor canal block (cACB) or ACB + PAI, after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ PROSPERO (CRD 42020168102).

Randomized Controlled TrialSerratus- intercostal interfascial plane block in supraumbilical surgery: a prospective randomized comparison.
Upper abdominal wall surgical incisions may lead to a severe postoperative pain. Therefore, adequate analgesia is important. Here we investigate whether the low serratus-intercostal interfascial plane block (SIPB) achieves an effective analgesia, considering opioids consumption, pain control and recovery quality in upper abdominal surgeries. ⋯ The low serratus-intercostal interfascial plane block (SIPB) provides efficient analgesia leading to a saving of opioids and improvement of the recovery quality in patients undergoing upper abdominal wall surgeries.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Lateral popliteal block in foot and ankle surgery: Comparing ultrasound guidance to nerve stimulation. A prospective randomized trial.
The popliteal block has several benefits in foot and ankle surgery. It reduces postoperative pain, limits the use of narcotics and facilitates early discharge. The aim of this prospective randomized trial was to evaluate whether ultrasound guidance improves block characteristics compared to the nerve stimulation technique in lateral popliteal blocks. ⋯ Level I, prospective randomized study.
