Opis

Primarily used in knee and hip surgery, local infiltration analgesia (LIA) has been shown to have overwhelmingly positive effects on patients by controlling pain and offering a speedy recovery.

Useful for clinicians who are both new to and familiar with LIA, this text demonstrates its techniques and presents evidence of its advantages in procedures outside the knee and hip region.
