Ultrasound-guided Adductor Canal Block for Total Knee Replacement: a Randomized, Double-blind Placebo Controlled Trial.
Total knee arthroplasty is associated with intense early postoperative pain. Fast track
recovery programs including early therapy protocols and early hospital discharge are being
implemented at various hospitals. The postoperative analgesic pain regimen should enhance
functional recovery in addition to providing efficient analgesia with minimal side effects.
Adductor canal blockade is commonly used to provide postoperative analgesia for total knee
arthroplasty (TKA) surgery. The investigators hypothesize that an ultrasound guided adductor
canal block will lower narcotic consumption and improved overall satisfaction compared to
ultrasound guided sham block with normal saline (placebo) for patients undergoing minimally
invasive TKA surgery.
