Local anaesthesia vs. brachial plexus block in trapeziometacarpal joint arthroplasty
The use of LA in total TMCJ arthroplasty is a practical and reliable alternative to the well-established BPB. LA reduces the cost of the procedure, necessity of an anaesthesiology team and the duration of the patients´ hospital stay. Patients should be actively involved in selecting the anaesthetic method to optimize the operative procedure and overall outcome.
