TKA: Sciatic nerve block equivalent to periarticular infiltration .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.

Epub 2012 Jul 5Fifty-two patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty were randomized to receive either combined femoral and sciatic nerve blocks (FNB-SNB) or combined femoral nerve block with periarticular and intra-articular anesthetic infiltration (FNB-PI), in order to measure average morphine consumption 24 hours and 48 hours post-operatively. In the first 24 hours and 48 hours, there were no significant differences in morphine consumption between the groups. The Visual Analogue Scale scores, knee flexion and extension lag, anesthetic time, surgical time, and length of hospital stay were also similar.
