Two Different Blocks for Postoperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Unilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty

The frequency of femoral nerve block and adductor canal block for analgesia after TKA(total knee arthroplasty) increases with the use of ultrasonography in regional anesthesia. In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of femoral nerve block and adductor canal block on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing unilateral knee arthroplasty.
