Summary
This study tested two pain relief methods after total knee replacement. One group received a nerve block plus an injection around the knee, while the other group received only the injection. The goal was to see which approach better reduces pain and the need for opioid painkillers in the first two weeks after surgery. 174 adults who had knee replacement took part.
