Fig. 3From: Single shot adductor canal block combined with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia can be effective as continuous adductor canal block in reducing opioid consumption and breakthrough pain after total knee arthroplastyAt POD1, the expected value of breakthrough pain was lower in C-ACB and PCA + sACB groups than in the IV-PCA group (p = 0.007). At POD2, C-ACB was statistically superior to IV-PCA (p = 0.011) and PCA + sACB was graphically superior to IV-PCA. Afterwards, C-ACB and PCA + ACB was graphically better than IV-PCA throughout the admission periodBack to article page
