Summary

Objective: Adductor canal block (ACB) is widely performed for postoperative analgesia for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study is to compare surgeon-assisted and anesthesiologist-assisted (ultrasound-guided) adductor blocks in terms of postoperative analgesic efficacy.

Methods: This study was designed as a double-blind, prospective and randomized trial. A total of 240 participants were randomly allocated to three groups: one where the surgeon performed the adductor canal block (ACBs), another where it was conducted by an anesthetist with ultrasound guidance (ACBa), and a third group without the adductor block. The follow-up management after the Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) procedure occurred on the first, third, and tenth days, as well as the twelfth week. Outcome measures comprised pain assessment using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and monitoring opioid analgesic consumption.
