Outpatient orthopedic surgery is gradually becoming the standard across the country, as it has been found to significantly lower costs without compromising patient care. Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are largely what have made this transition possible by providing patients excellent pain control in the immediate postoperative period. However, with the increasing use of PNBs, it is important to recognize that they are not without complications. Although rare, these complications can cause patients a significant amount of morbidity. It is important for surgeons to know the risks of peripheral nerve blocks and to inform their patients.
门诊骨科手术在全国范围内逐渐成为标准，因为它在不影响患者护理的情况下显著降低了成本。周围神经阻滞（PNB）在很大程度上实现了这一转变，因为它在术后即刻为患者提供了极好的疼痛控制。然而，随着 PNB 的使用日益增加，重要的是要认识到它们并非没有并发症。尽管罕见，但这些并发症会给患者带来很大的发病率。外科医生了解周围神经阻滞的风险并告知患者非常重要。
