Official title
Postoperative Pain Management Following Total Knee Arthroplasty Utilizing Adductor Canal Block: Effects on Pain Management and Quadriceps Sparing
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is quantitative motor-sparing of the quadriceps muscles following adductor canal nerve block versus femoral nerve block. Patients will be randomly placed into one of three treatment groups: 1) Femoral nerve block, 2) Adductor canal nerve block - low volume, or 3) Adductor canal nerve block - high volume. Quadriceps function will be assessed in the operating room using a skin patch and electrical stimulation. Follow up visits with the patients will continue over the course of 2 days during patient's stay at the hospital. A total of 60 patients will be enrolled for the study.
