Summary
Knee arthroplasty has a high potential for postoperative pain. This study compares analgesia and postoperative bleeding from intrathecal morphine with the continuous femoral and a single-shot sciatic nerve blockades.
Detailed description
This study aims to compare intrathecal morphine as a technique for analgesia with the femoral nerve blockade associated with a single-shot sciatic nerve blockade. Analgesic efficacy, the incidence of adverse effects, and postoperative bleeding were evaluated
