Analgesic Efficacy of Saphenous Nerve Block in Total Knee Replacement

NCT01991288 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2013-11-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We hypothesize that preoperative saphenous nerve block (SNB) in combination with periarticular local infiltration provides better post operative pain relief (POPR) profile as compared to local infiltration alone

Conditions

  • Post Operative Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

SNB Saphenous Nerve Block

Patients in group SNB received an ultrasound guided SNB (a sub sartorial approach) by a single operator with 10 mls 0.5% bupivacaine. At the end of surgery periarticular knee infiltration of 30 mls 0.5% levobupivacaine + 70 mls 0.9% saline + 0.5 mg adrenaline was performed in a staged fashion by the surgeon, beginning with infiltration of the deep structures on tibial surface at 1mm depth around all exposed tissues, medial and lateral collateral ligament origin, all cut surfaces of extensor mechanism, all cut surface of skin and subcutaneous tissue

PROCEDURE

NSNB Non Saphenous Nerve Block

All patients at the end of surgery received periarticular knee infiltration of 30 mls 0.5% levobupivacaine + 70 mls 0.9% saline + 0.5 mg adrenaline, in a staged fashion by the surgeon, beginning with infiltration of the deep structures on tibial surface at 1mm depth around all exposed tissues, medial and lateral collateral ligament origin, all cut surfaces of extensor mechanism, all cut surface of skin and subcutaneous tissue
