Methods From January 2009 to July 2010, 180 American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-II patients, aged from 18 to 65 years old, and scheduled for elective single knee arthroscopy were randomly divided into two groups: femoral nerve block group and local anesthetic intraarticular injection group with 90 patients in each group. For the patients in the former group, 20 mL of 0.15% ropivacaine was injected 1 hour before operation. For the latter group, 20 mL of 0.6% ropivacaine was injected into the articular cavity after operation. Pain intension scores at rest and in motion were measured 4, 8, and 24 hours after operation by visual analog scale (VAS). The degree of patients’ satisfaction, adverse reaction incidence rate and information of taking pain-killers were also recorded. Results The rate of using pain-killers in the intraarticular injection group (41.11%) was dramatically higher than the femoral nerve block group (20.00%) (Plt;0.005). The VAS scores of patients in the intraarticular injection group at rest 24 hours after operation and in motion 8 hours and 24 hours after operation were significantly higher than the femoral nerve block group (Plt;0.001), while there was no significant difference at other points between the two groups. Conclusions Femoral nerve block is more efficient for analgesia after knee arthroscopy compared with local anesthetic intraarticular injection. It is a safe procedure requiring only a relatively small dose of medicine, and is worth being popularized.
ObjectiveTo compare postoperative analgesic efficacy and motor function recovery between ultrasound guided adductor canal block (ACB) and Femoral nerve block (FNB) in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MethodsFrom March to April 2014, 40 patients chosen to receive TKA under general anesthesia were randomly allocated to FNB group and ACB group with 20 in each group. Opioids consumption during and after operation, pain score in rest and movement, the force of quadriceps femoris, activity of knee and complications after surgery were recorded. ResultsNo differences were found in opioids consumption during and after operation, pain score in rest and movement after operation. Patients of ACB group were superior to those of FNB group in motor function recovery. At hour 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 after operation, the force of quadriceps femoris was higher in patients of ACB group than those of FNB group (P<0.05). Activity of knee was higher in patients of ACB group than those of FNB group postoperatively. ConclusionACB and FNB have equal postoperative analgesic effect for TKA patients. But ACB has less influence on the force of quadriceps femoris than FNB. Therefore, patients of ACB group are superior to those of FNB group in motor function recovery, showing better activity of knee and early time of first straight leg raising.
ObjectiveTo study the analgesia and rehabilitation effect of femoral nerve block after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). MethodsDuring June to September 2014, 62 patients who were scheduled to undergo ACLR were randomly divided into two groups:femoral nerve block group (n=31) and control group (n=31). All the patients were given celecoxib 200 mg (twice per day) three days before surgery. Patients in the femoral nerve block group were given a single-injection femoral nerve block (SFNB) half an hour before surgery (ropivacaine 0.75%, 30 mL), Both of the two groups underwent ice therapy after surgery. The visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, knee joint range of motion, the muscle strength of quadriceps femoris, the side effects, complications and infection rate were recorded after the operation. ResultsThe VAS scores were significantly lower in the femoral nerve block group within 2 hours to 7 days after surgery (P<0.05), and the use of morphine was less than the control group in all the time points with statistical significance (P<0.05). The muscle strength of quadriceps femoris was significantly weaker in the femoral nerve block group than the control group in the first 12 hours (P<0.05). The side effects and infection rate between the two group had no significant difference (P>0.05). ConclusionThe femoral nerve block in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction before surgery has a good effect on postoperative analgesia and rehabilitation, which is worth popularizing and applying.
ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the analgesic efficacy of local infiltration analgesia versus femoral nerve block for total knee arthroplasty. MethodsDatabases including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2016), WanFang Data, CBM, and CNKI were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the analgesic efficacy of local infiltration analgesia versus femoral nerve block for total knee arthroplasty from inception to April 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. The meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 13 RCTs involving 1 001 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: There were no significant differences in pain scores at rest (SMD=0.02, 95%CI -0.23 to 0.27, P=0.86), morphine consumption on movement (MD=-1.85, 95%CI -4.67 to 0.97, P=0.20), incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting (RD=0.02, 95%CI -0.03 to 0.08, P=0.41) and incidence of post-operative knee infection (RD=0.01, 95%CI -0.02 to 0.03, P=0.60) between the two groups, but he local infiltration analgesia group had lower length of stay than the femoral nerve block group with statistical difference (SMD=-0.24, 95%CI -0.41 to -0.07, P=0.005). ConclusionLocal infiltration analgesia provides similar postoperative analgesia after total knee arthroplasty to femoral nerve block. However, due to the limited quantity of the included studies, the above conclusion still need to be verified by more high quality studies.
Objective To overview the systematic reviews/meta-analyses of efficacy of FNB used as a postoperative analgesic technique among patients undergoing TKR. Methods We electronically searched databases including The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP from inception to July, 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literature and extracted data. AMSTAR tool was used to assess the methodological quality of included studies. The primary outcome was pain scores and the consumption of opoid medicine to evaluate the effectiveness of FNB. Results A total of 16 systematic reviews/meta-analyses were included, involving the FNBvs. LIA, PMDI, EA, PCA and ACB, respectively. The results of quality assessment indicated medium scores with 3 to 9 scores. The overviews’ results showed that: at rest, FNB was not superior to LIA at 6h after TKR; it was superior to PMDI at 12h after TKR; it was also superior to PCA and LIA, but not superior to ACB at 24h after TKR. On movement, FNB was superior to PCA and LIA at 24h after TKR; it was also superior to PCA at 48h after TKR. As to the consumption of opoid medicine, the consumption in FNB group was more than LIA group at 12h after TKR. In addition, the consumption in FNB group was less than PCA and LIA at 24h after TKR, and it was also less than PCA and ACB at 48h. The satisfaction of patients who received FNB was better than ACB, EA and PCA. Conclusion The current overview shows that FNB is more effective than PCA and LIA, the patients’ satisfaction is better. Due to the limitations of the quantity and quality of included studies, the above conclusions are needed to be verified by more studies.
Objectives To overview the systematic reviews/meta-analyses of safety of femoral nerve block (FNB) used as a postoperative analgesic technique in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods We searched databases including The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, WanFang Data, and VIP from inception to July, 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and used AMSTAR to evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies. The major indexes used to evaluate the safety of FNB were the incidence rates of symptoms including nausea, vomiting, sedation, retention of urine, dizziness, pruritus, hypotension, falls, nenous thromboembolism and deep infection. Results A total of 12 systematic reviews/meta-analyses were included.They assessed the safety of FNB compared with local infiltration analgesia (LIA), periarticular multimodal drug injection (PMDI), epidural analgesia (EA), patient-controlled intravenous analgesia of opioids (PCA) and adductor canal block (ACB), respectively. The methodological quality of included studies were medium, with the scores between 3 to 10. The results of overview indicated that: FNB had lower incidence rates of nausea and vomiting compared with EA and PCA, but had higher than ACB. FNB had lower incidence rates of sedation and retention of urine compared with EA and PCA. FNB had lower incidence rates of dizziness compared with EA and PCA, and lower incidence rate of hypotension compared with EA. Conclusion Current evidence suggests that FNB is safer than EA and PCA. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, the above conclusions are needed to be verified by more high-quality studies.
Objective To compare the effect of sciatic nerve block (SNB) combined with continuted femoral nerve block (FNB) or continuted adductor canal block (ACB) on pain and motor function after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods A total of 60 patients with TKA-treated osteoarthritis of the knee who met the selection criteria were enrolled between November 2020 and February 2021 and randomised allocated into the study group (SNB combined with continuted ACB) and the control group (SNB combined with continuted FNB), with 30 cases in each group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass, height, body mass index, preoperative Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, femoral tibial angle, and medial proximal tibial angle between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time, the initial time to the ground, the initial walking distance, and the postoperative hospital stay were recorded. At 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after operation, the numerical rating scale (NRS) score was used to evaluate the rest pain around the knee joint, the quadriceps femoris muscle strength was evaluated by the freehand muscle strength method, and the knee flexion and extension angles were measured. Results There was no significant difference in the operation time and initial walking distance between the two groups (P>0.05); the initial time to the ground and postoperative hospital stay of the study group were significantly shorter than those of the control group (P<0.05). Except for the 48-hour postoperative NRS score of the study group, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05), there was no significant difference in the NRS scores between the two groups at the remaining time points (P>0.05). The quadriceps femoris muscle strength from 4 to 24 hours postoperatively and the knee extension angle from 2 to 6 hours postoperatively of the study group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05); the differences in the quadriceps femoris muscle strength and knee extension and flexion angles between the two groups at the remaining time points were not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion SNB combined with either continuted ACB or continuted FNB can effectively relieve pain in patients after TKA, and compared with combined continuted FNB, combined continuted ACB has less effect on quadriceps femoris muscle strength, and patients have better recovery of knee flexion and extension mobility.
