Abstract
Operations of total hip and knee arthroplasty are currently one of the most frequent surgical interventions performed for functional rehabilitation of patients with osteoarthritis or patients who have received a fracture of the femoral neck. The best method for providing anesthesia and pain relief for total joint replacement has not been determined. Until now, a unified point of view on the choice of the optimal method of anesthesia and analgesia in surgical interventions for arthroplasty has not been formed.
