Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Effect of a 3-in-1 block in arthroscopic knee surgery. Comparative study with subarachnoid block].
Trunk blockades in arthroscopic knee surgery are rarely performed because combined blockade of the sciatic and lumbar plexus nerves are required, particularly if ischemia is required. We aimed to assess the efficacy of the "3-in-1 block" combined with intraarticular infiltration of local anesthetic for arthroscopic meniscectomy. The results were compared with our standard technique, subarachnoid anesthesia. ⋯ The "3-in-1 block" combined with joint infiltration of local anesthetics may be an effective alternative when subarachnoid anesthesia is contraindicated in patients undergoing arthroscopic meniscectomy.
