Efficacy of Genicular Block on Total Knee Arthroplasty Surgery
Sponsor: Mersin University
Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the postoperative pain relieving effect of preoperative genicular block in total knee arthroplasty surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do visual analog scale (VAS) scores decrease in patients who underwent geniculate block? 2. Does opioid consumption decrease in patients who underwent geniculate block? Researchers will compare postoperative pain in patients who received genicular block with those who did not.One group of patients will be administered 0.25% bupivacaine with the geniculate block method. The other group will not undergo any intervention. Both groups will be administered intravenous morphine for postoperative analgesia.

Interventions
Genicular blocks (bupivakain)
Genicular block is a regional analgesic technique performed with USG
Patient Control Analgesia (PCA) Morphine group
this group consists of the patients no any intervention preoperatively and they will be given morfin with PCA (Patient controlled analgesia) and paracetamol 3x1000 mg intravenous and diclofenac 75 mg intramuscular (if needed)
Paracetamol (acetaminophen) + Diclofenac Sodium
All patients are given paracetamol (3x1000 mg) and diclofenac (if needed)
