Prevalence of saphenous nerve injury after adductor‐canal‐blockade in patients receiving total knee arthroplasty

Abstract

We found no indications of saphenous nerve injury caused by the adductor-canal-blockade at the mid-thigh level. However, 84% of the patients had signs of injury to the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve in the operated leg. Such findings are well-known complications to the surgical procedure.
