TLDR
ACB preserved quadriceps strength and ability to ambulate better than FNB did, and future studies are needed to compare the analgesic effect of the ACB with the FNB in a clinical setting.
Abstract
Background:The authors hypothesized that the adductor canal block (ACB), a predominant sensory blockade, reduces quadriceps strength compared with placebo (primary endpoint, area under the curve, 0.5–6 h), but less than the femoral nerve block (FNB; secondary endpoint). Other secondary endpoints wer

Consensus statement for perioperative care in total hip replacement and total knee replacement surgery: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS ®) Society recommendations

TL;DR: There is insufficient evidence to recommend that one surgical technique (type of approach, use of a minimally invasive technique, prosthesis choice, or use of computer-assisted surgery) over another will independently effect achievement of discharge criteria.

Lower extremity regional anesthesia: essentials of our current understanding.

TL;DR: The current review article strives to summarize the pertinent anatomy of the lumbar and sacral plexuses, discuss the optimal approaches and techniques for lower limb regional anesthesia, and identify informational gaps pertaining to outcomes, which warrant further investigation.

Effect of adductor canal block versus femoral nerve block on quadriceps strength, mobilization, and pain after total knee arthroplasty: a randomized, blinded study

TL;DR: Adductor canal block provides a clinically relevant and statistically significant increase in quadriceps muscle strength for patients in severe pain after TKA.

Clinical assessment of hip strength using a hand-held dynamometer is reliable

TL;DR: Standardized strength assessment procedures of hip ABD, ER, IR, FLEX, with test–retest measurement variation below 5%, hip ADD below 6% and hip EXT below 8%, make it possible to determine even small changes in hip strength at the individual level.

The Association Between Lower Extremity Continuous Peripheral Nerve Blocks and Patient Falls After Knee and Hip Arthroplasty

TL;DR: There is a causal relationship between CPNB and the risk of falling after knee and hip arthroplasty, and 3 previously published, randomized, triple-masked, placebo-controlled studies of CPNBs involving the femoral nerve suggest this.
