Study Summary

The primary aim of this pilot study will be to develop a clinically meaningful, patient-centric, and pragmatic protocol to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of different strategies for achievement of the ideal balance between analgesia and functional mobility following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome measure will be postoperative visual analog pain scale (VAS) score area under the curve (AUC) for 48 hours, recorded every six hours. Score Scale is 0 (no pain)- 10(most pain). A higher score corresponds to a worse outcome.

Interventions

  • DRUG Femoral nerve catheter and sciatic nerve block
  • DRUG Adductor canal catheter and selective tibial block
  • DRUG Adductor canal catheter only
