postoperative pain, pain, RPD
In this study, the most important finding was that analgesia management of ACB + GA could effectively reduce postoperative pain of RPD, and promote early rehabilitation. Especially the VAS pain scores at rest and activity in the ACB + GA group were significantly lower at 48 and 72 h after the operation than in the GA group. Meanwhile, the frequencies and dosages of postoperative analgesics were significantly lower in the ACB + GA group. Quadriceps strength and IPSQ scores were higher in the ACB + GA group after the operation. The process of rehabilitation training was effectively improved in the ACB + GA group. There were no significant differences in Lysholm and Kujala scores between the two groups at 3 months after surgery.
