    AbstractKnee block anesthesia frequently is used for arthroscopic knee procedures by orthopedic surgeons and anesthesia care providers at Bronson Methodist Hospital, Kalamazoo, Mich. This type of regional anesthesia using local anesthetic medications provides excellent surgical conditions and prolonged postoperative analgesia. Use of this anesthetic technique avoids many of the side effects of general, spinal, and epidural anesthesia and saves time and money for patients and facilities.
