Femoral nerve block for TKA

[chrish]

Hi,

TKA is total knee arthroplasty and FNB is femoral nerve block.
Hope that helps.

We use karokane as a FNB, the proproceptive feed back is diminished thus making the patient unsafe during mobilization. A knee immobilizer is used straight away and the patient is encouraged to lock the knee by flexing the hip during stance phase. seems to work quite well.
