Abstract

Effective pain management after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is essential for recovery. Continuous peripheral nerve blocks (PNBc) are often believed to provide superior pain relief compared with single-injection peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs). However, multidimensional pain-related patient-reported outcomes (PROs) have not been extensively studied.
