Sponsor's own description
Postoperative pain management after knee arthroscopic surgery continues to evolve with better treatment strategies being formulated to improve patient satisfaction, and clinical outcomes and reduce opioid use in the immediate postoperative period. appropriate perioperative pain management has been shown to result in faster recovery and rehabilitation leading to better functional outcomes in patients undergoing knee arthroscopic surgery. this has necessitated the development of multimodal analgesics. peripheral nerve blockade has been reported to deliver optimal postoperative pain relief and is increasingly preferred in patients undergoing arthroscopic procedures and various different techniques such as sciatic nerve block, femoral nerve block, and genicular block have been described.
