Abstract

Purpose: It is unclear whether perioperative analgesic techniques affect the functional outcome of total knee replacement (TKR). We investigated the effects of peripheral nerve block (PNB) and local infiltration (LI) on walking ability after TKR. Methods: The medical records of 7143 patients who underwent TKR using general anesthesia with PNB or LI techniques were reviewed. Factors affecting independence and/or improvement of walking after surgery were investigated using multivariate regression analysis. To adjust for baseline differences and minimize selection bias for the chosen analgesic te
