Priоr tо а Right Tоtаl Knee Arthroplаsty, you perform an adductor canal block on your patient preoperatively, noting the effectiveness of the block because the patient can’t feel sensation on the medial and anteromedial knee. Following surgery, your patient is complaining of pain, 9/10, unrelieved by the intravenous and oral medications you’ve ordered for pain in the PACU.
