BACKGROUND: @entity282 after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be burdensome. Multiple methods of @entity158 control have been used, including adductor canal block (ACB) and @entity1337 ( @entity1337 ). These two techniques have been studied have proven to be efficacious separately. The purpose of this study was to compare: (1) lengths of stay (LOS), (2) @entity158 level, (3) discharge status, and (4) opioid use in TKA @entity1 who received ACB alone vs @entity1 who received ACB and @entity1337 . METHODS: A single surgeon database was reviewed for @entity1 who had a TKA between January 2015 and April 2016. @entity1 who received ACB with or without @entity1337 were included. This yielded 127 @entity1 who had a mean age of 63 years. @entity1 were grouped into having received ACB alone (n = 52) and having received ACB and @entity1337 (n = 75). @entity1 records were reviewed to obtain demographic and end point data (LOS, @entity158 , discharge status, and opioid use). Student t test and chi-squared test were used to compare continuous and categorical variables respectively. RESULTS: There were no significant difference in mean LOS (P = .934), @entity158 level (P = .142), discharge status (P = .077), or total opioid use (P = .708) between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in LOS, @entity158 levels, discharge status, and opiate requirements between the 2 groups. ACB alone may be as effective as combined ACB and @entity1337 in TKA @entity1 for @entity282 control. Larger prospective studies are needed to verify these findings and to improve generalization.

Does Addition of Multimodal Periarticular XXXX to Adductor Canal Block Improve Lengths of Stay, @entity158 , Discharge Status, and Opioid Use After Total Knee Arthroplasty?
