Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to use a new combination of anesthesia techniques in an attempt to minimize early pain after surgery and improve the patient's ability to participate more fully with physical therapy. Total knee replacement patients who participate will receive the standard anesthesia. This includes a spinal nerve block as well as a femoral nerve block. The study is looking at the added benefits of including an injection of numbing medication (Bupivicaine) to the back of the knee. This injection occurs during surgery. In order to compare the outcomes we will also have a group of patients who will receive a saline injection as opposed to the numbing medication. Patients are randomly assigned to a group. Outcomes are measured up until twenty-four hours following the surgery.
Interventions
- OTHER Placebo saline injection
- DRUG Ropivicaine 0.5%
