Clinical Trial Summary

We hypothesize continuous adductor canal block with steroid adjuvant would offer no inferior analgesics and rehabilitation ability than continuous femoral nerve block for postoperative patients receiving total knee arthroplasty.


Clinical Trial Description

A total of 80 patients who will undergo total knee arthroplasty will be randomized into two groups:

Treatment groups Treatment details Femoral Group (40 patients) Continuous femoral nerve block (bolus: 0.5% Ropivacaine 10-15 ml ; infusion of 0.15 % Ropivacaine 4-6ml/h) Adductor Group (40 patients) Adductor canal block with steroid adjuvant (bolus: 0.5% Ropivacaine 10-15ml; Dexamethasone 4mg) (Total 80 patients will be recruited)

- All patients will receive single shot tibial nerve block with local anaesthetics (0.5% Ropivacaine 5-8ml) before surgery for analgesia of posterior knee.

- All patients will receive the same preemptive and postoperative multimodal medications for perioperative analgesia.

- All groups will receive standardized method of spinal anaesthesia and standardized method of intraoperative sedation for the surgery.

- Intravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine will be given for 48h to patient as rescue analgesia. ;
