Femoral nerve block for pain relief after total knee replacement
Prof Nurse.
2004 Feb.
Abstract
Major knee surgery can result in severe postoperative pain, especially in older people. When it is inadequately controlled, such pain can have a serious impact on the patient's physical state and their quality of life. This paper looks at the use in one hospital of femoral nerve block techniques to complement other pain-management methods following a total knee replacement operation.
