Analgesia in Total Knee Arthroplasty Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing Single Shot Adductor Canal Block With Local Infiltration Analgesia for Postoperative Analgesia After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Total knee arthroplasty or replacement (TKA), a commonly performed surgery for
osteoarthritis of the knee, is a painful procedure and requires a multimodal analgesic
approach. A method for analgesia is local infiltration analgesia (LIA), where a mixture of
drugs is injected around the knee joint.
Adductor canal block (ACB) is an alternative regional anaesthesia technique which has been
shown to result in minimal thigh weakness.
The investigators aim to study if the analgesia provided by ACB is superior to LIA while
preserving quadriceps strength.
