Summary

Quadriceps muscle strength is an important determinant of quality of recovery in elderly patients after total knee arthroplasty. We try to compare the quadriceps muscle strength change between 0.2 % ropivacaine continuous fixed femoral infusion and patient controlled femoral analgesia group.

Conditions

  • Muscle Weakness

Interventions

DRUG

ropivacaine

Patients receive 15 ml of 0.25% ropivacaine pre-operatively through femoral block catheter, followed by 0.2% ropivacaine continuous mode or patient controlled mode for 2 days after surgery
