Pain management plays an essential role in the improvement of clinical outcome and patient satisfaction of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). With the emergence of preemptive analgesia, preventive analgesia and other analgesia concepts, the whole process of perioperative pain management and multimodal analgesia during perioperative period has become the most important principle of pain management for TKA. The use of classical analgesia drugs like acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioid drugs still have important position. At the same time, various kinds of regional block analgesia represented by femoral nerve block, adductor canal block, peri-articular multimodal drug mixture injection, etc., have precise analgesic effects and less adverse reactions. Their role in the multimodal analgesia system after TKA is increasingly apparent.
