AbstractIn certain patient populations, postoperative pain management increasingly relies on more localized anesthetic methods rather than systemic medications. Use of methods such as continuous peripheral nerve blockade demonstrates improved patient satisfaction and decreased length of hospital stay. This technique of pain management and its associated use in patients following total joint arthroplasty are examined.
