How Does the Addition of Adductor Canal Block to Local Infiltration Affect Recovery in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty? A Feasibility Study.
Sponsor: Health Sciences North Research Institute
Summary
The use of periarticular injection and adductor canal block are well-established techniques used both in combination or in isolation in the management of postoperative pain for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The aim of this study is to investigate whether combining these two techniques have an added benefit, compared to periarticular injection alone, with respect to quality of recovery, functional return, discharge readiness, and short and long term post-operative narcotic use.
