Abstract

Total knee replacement (TKR) is associated with post-operative pain. Femoral nerve block can relieve the pain but also affects the post-operative mobility. Saphenous nerve block (SNB) can improve analgesia without interfering mobilisation. However, there is no consensus on the ideal mode of administration of SNB. We aim to compare the effects of single shot versus continuous SNB on patients undergoing TKR.
