Intervention

Procedure:
• Bilateral Suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block
Suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) is one of the commonly used regional analgesia techniques for postoperative analgesia in lower extremity surgeries.
• Local infiltration analgesia
Local infiltration analgesia is applied to the posterior part of the knee, including the periosteum, ligaments, muscle and/or skin area before closing the surgical field.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) produces adequate analgesic effect in knee arthroplasty.	The aim of this study was to observationally compare the analgesic efficacy of local infiltration analgesia (LIA) and suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) techniques in patients who underwent bilateral knee operations. Postoperative pain follow-up of the patients will be done by recording Visual analog scales (VAS) at 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours. Additional analgesic needs and unwanted side effects will also be recorded.	4 months
