Conditions

Knee arthritis

Interventions

The experimental group (ACB group):30 minutes before the operation, the anesthesiologist performed a bupivacaine liposome 133mg femoral nerve block for pain relief under color ultrasound guidance.
Control group (PAI group):At the end of the surgery, the surgeon administered a 133mg injection of bupivacaine liposome around the joint to provide pain relief before closing the joint cavity.
