Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at different period of time in postoperative period between Adductor canal block group and Femoral nerve block group. To compare range of motion in knee joint as angle of flexion upto 48 hours in the two groupsTimepoint: The patients will be assessed for pain using visual analogue scale (VAS) score and mobility by observing the angle of flexion of knee joint at 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours in the postoperative period.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare opioid consumption in the two groups in first 48 hours To compare degree of patient satisfaction between the two groupsTimepoint: The patients will also be compared in the two groups based on the opioid consumption in first 48 hours along with the degree of patient satisfaction at the end of the study using an ordinal scale (e.g., very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, dissatisfied, very dissatisfied)
