Questions This Issue Explores

This issue spans regional anesthesia and perioperative pain management across upper- and lower-extremity, spine, and arthroscopic procedures, including block techniques, analgesic adjuncts, and postoperative recovery measures. It also includes rehabilitation and conservative care for musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis, low back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and shoulder disorders, alongside imaging-, exercise-, electroacupuncture-, and therapy-based approaches. Additional articles address fracture fixation, cervical fusion, blood transfusion, and sleep, anxiety, and pressure injury prevention in orthopedic settings.
