Abstract
Background: null Controversy exists regarding the need for nerve stimulation when performing an ultrasound (US)-guided peripheral nerve block. We tested the hypothesis that the quality of a femoral nerve block (FNB) performed with US is equivalent to an FNB performed with US and nerve stimulation. null Methods: null One hundred seven patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty were randomized to receive either a US-guided FNB (group...
