Summary

This study is designed to compare femoral perineural catheter insertion distances, in order to help determine which is the best for pain relief after knee surgery.

Hypothesis: the quality of the femoral nerve block will not be inferior if the catheter is inserted deeper (7cm compared to 3 cm)

Conditions

  • Total Knee Arthroplasty

Interventions

OTHER
