Abstract:
This research focuses on evaluating chronic pain and functional disability after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), comparing two anaesthesia techniques: Adductor Canal Block (ACB) and Local Infiltration of Anesthesia (LIA). The primary goal was to determine the efficacy of these methods in pain reduction and improved mobility six months post-surgery. The study used the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) to assess outcomes. Findings indicated no significant difference between ACB and LIA in terms of pain relief or functional improvement, suggesting that both methods are equally effective for managing chronic pain post-TKA.
