Popis:	The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of peripheral nerve blocks in the operative management of tibial plateau fractures is associated with improved outcomes when compared with the use of spinal and general anesthesia. Over a period of 16 years, 132 patients who underwent operative repair for a low-energy tibial plateau fracture and had at least 12 months of follow-up met the inclusion criteria and formed the basis of this study. Patients were grouped into cohorts based on the anesthetic method used during surgery: peripheral nerve block in combination with conscious sedation or general anesthesia (BA), general anesthesia alone (GA), or spinal anesthesia alone (SA). Outcomes were assessed at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Length of stay was greatest in the GA cohort ( P P P P P Orthopedics . 202x;4x(x):xx–xx.]
