Key result
Regional anesthesia and multimodal analgesia are increasingly utilized for total knee arthroplasty to improve perioperative pain control, reduce systemic narcotic consumption, and fast-track recovery.

Supports regional anesthesia trends in TKA; leaves open need for RCTs versus general anesthesia.
Does regional anesthesia and multimodal analgesia improve perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty compared to general anesthesia?
The shift towards regional anesthesia and multimodal analgesia in total knee arthroplasty aims to improve perioperative pain control, reduce narcotic use, and facilitate rapid rehabilitation through formalized clinical pathways.
Turnbull et al. (2017) conducted a review in Total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Regional anesthesia and multimodal analgesia vs. General anesthesia was evaluated. Regional anesthesia and multimodal analgesia are increasingly utilized for total knee arthroplasty to improve perioperative pain control, reduce systemic narcotic consumption, and fast-track recovery.
