Combined Distal Femoral Nerve Block for Pain Control After Knee Replacement

Sponsor: Ramsay Générale de Santé

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to see whether a combined distal femoral nerve block improves pain relief after total knee replacement in adults having planned surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the combined distal femoral nerve block reduce the amount of opioid needed in the post-anesthesia recovery room? * Does it preserve quadriceps muscle strength while improving postoperative pain control? Researchers will compare the combined distal femoral nerve block to a saphenous nerve block alone to see if the combined block provides better analgesia without reducing leg strength. Participants will: * Receive either the combined distal femoral nerve block or the saphenous nerve block alone before surgery. * Also receive standard multimodal pain management, including anesthesia, surgical site infiltration, and postoperative pain medications. * Be assessed for pain, opioid use, nausea and vomiting, quadriceps strength, time to first standing, hospital stay length, and patient satisfaction from surgery until discharge.
