Incidence of local anesthetic systemic toxicity in patients receiving bupivacaine infiltration analgesia for total joint arthroplasty under general anesthesia: a retrospective single-center study

Abstract Background Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) is a crucial component of multimodal analgesia that enhances recovery after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA).
