Summary
Total knee arthroplasty surgery is associated with severe postoperative pain and adequate
pain management is necessary for early postoperative mobilization and rehabilitation.
Although good postoperative pain control may be achieved by continuous epidural anesthesia or
femoral nerve block, both methods have adverse effects such as muscle weakness, which may
delay postoperative mobilization.
