AbstractAdequate postoperative pain management is of major importance for a short rehabilitation time after painful orthopaedic surgery. Multimodal pathways have been established to achieve a surgical patient free of pain and complications. Peripheral and central nerve blocks are a fundamental part of these interdisciplinary strategies and are already implemented in orthopaedic surgical care. This article summarises the value of special anaesthetic techniques, especially regional anaesthesia, in orthopaedic surgery and discusses their impact on several postoperative outcome goals.
