Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Use of peripheral nerve block for post operative analgesia like femoral and adductor canal nerve block in arthroscopic knee surgery decreases VAS score, provides superior analgesia, helps in mobilization with out pain. It also reduces associated complication of opioid analgesic.Adductor canal block provides accepted pain relief with out motor blockade , which helps in safe mobilization with out risk of fall.Timepoint: After 15 minutes of drug injection for nerve block

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Use of nerve block is superior to spinal anaesthesia alone.Timepoint: From post op zero hr to 48 hr
