The results and complications of knee arthroscopy performed using local (982) and truncular anesthesia (523) at the out-patient arthroscopy clinic of the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute between 1982 and 1994 were analyzed. Furthermore, the literature on technique and surgical indications for the use of out-patient arthroscopy with a 3 in 1 block was reviewed.
