Summary

This study tested two methods to control pain after total knee replacement: a nerve block plus an injection around the knee, versus the injection alone. 174 adults who had knee surgery took part. The goal was to see which approach provides better pain relief and helps patients use fewer opioids in the first two weeks after surgery.
