Adductor Canal Block (ACB) vs Femoral Nerve Block (FNB) in Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty

Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty Clinical Trial

Official title: The Effect of Femoral Nerve Block Versus Adductor Canal Block on the Quality of Recovery for Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty, a Prospective Randomized Blinded Study

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective, randomized, blinded study with a parallel design and an allocation ratio of 1:1 for the treatment groups. The investigators seek to determine if femoral nerve block (FNB) improves the quality of recovery and improve postoperative analgesia compared with adductor canal block (ACBs) for patients undergoing revision total knee arthroplasty.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a prospective, randomized, blinded study with a parallel design and an allocation ratio of 1:1 for the treatment groups. A prospective study design will allow both FNBs and ACBs to be accurately assessed in an effective manner without introducing unnecessary confounding factors. Furthermore, randomization and a parallel design with equal allocation ratio will ensure timely enrollment of patients while also minimizing temporal confounders that may occur with institutional changes to clinical care protocols. Patients, nurses on the floor and physical therapists will be blinded to the nature of the patient assignment (FNB or ACB) ;
