BLOCK-study: Better Local Orthopedic Pain Control After Knee Arthroplasty

NCT06746168 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 210

Summary

The goal of this study is to compare the anesthetic combination iPACK with femoral triangle block versus surgical LIA for unilateral TKA. We hypothesize that an iPACK block with femoral triangle block is non-inferior to surgical LIA. Furthermore, due to visualization of the relevant neural and vascular structures, the risk of accidental popliteal block, nerve damage or LAST with (a blindly performed) LIA could theoretically be reduced.

Conditions

  • Knee Arthroplasty, Total

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Locoregional anesthesia

The FTB + iPACK group will receive 12 ml 0,5% ropivacaine for the FTB and 20 ml of ropivacaine 0.5% for the iPACK block under US guidance after spinal anesthesia

PROCEDURE

Local Anesthetic Ropivacaine

The control group (LIA) will receive 120 ml 0.25% ropivacaine for surgical LIA placement.
