Abstract
Total Knee Arthroplasty is a surgery that is performed frequently and routinely worldwide. The incidence of this surgery is increasing, possibly due to progressive aging population and the increase in comorbidities such as obesity, which makes knee joint pathology more frequent. Usually, patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty have moderate to severe postoperative pain that can be chronic, resulting in persistent post-surgical pain, with negative implications on quality of life, satisfaction, rehabilitation and patient outcomes. For this reason, the analgesic techniques used to reduce postoperative pain in these
patients in a context of multimodal analgesia are fundamental to reduce the probability of negative postprocedure outcomes. The aim of the present article is to describe the technique of adductor canal block as a perioperative analgesic strategy in knee arthroplasty.
