Defining the Best Approach to Block the Pain After Knee Surgery

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to compare standard techniques used to control pain after knee surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the fascia iliaca block is faster, safer and as good as or better than the femoral block, with or without a stimulating catheter.

Clinical Trial Description

60 patients being treated for ACL repair or knee arthroplasties under regional anesthesia will be randomized to three groups: Fascia Iliaca Block (FIB), Femoral Block (FB) with stimulating catheter or FB without stimulating catheter. A catheter will be placed according to each technique, before the surgery. A bolus of local anesthetic will be given pre-surgery and at the end of the operation, in all groups. A continuous infusion will be started for 48 hours. All patients receive a standard analgesia cocktail and rescue medication.

Pain and level of activity, as well as side effects, will be evaluated. ;
