The goal of this study was to compare femoral and femoral plus sciatic nerve blocks in the postoperative pain management of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A total of 97 patients participated in a convenience sample, comparative study. Patients who received femoral nerve block only (n = 30) reported statistically higher pain scores (P <.05) and showed 61% higher opiate consumption than those who received femoral and sciatic nerve blocks (n = 67) in the first 24 hours after surgery. The results suggest that the combined femoral and sciatic nerve block provides superior pain management in the early postoperative period after TKA.
