There is great variability in EVLA protocols and at the present time there is data from more than 60 publications with more than 15000 EVLA treatments reporting g...

Abstract Aim To maximise postoperative analgesia, whilst minimising opioid use, motor sparing peripheral nerve blocks have been described as an alternative to local infiltration analgesia (LIA) with adductor canal block (ACB) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). At The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, we developed a new technique, involving ten separate injections the four genicul...
