Conditions

Adductor Canal Block, Sciatic Nerve Block, Total Knee Arthroplasty

Keywords

popliteal sciatic nerve block, total knee artgroplasty, adductor canal block, dexamethasone

Brief summary

This study evaluate the efficacy of adding popliteal sciatic nerve block with low concentration bupivacaine and dexamethasone to abductor canal block for total knee arthroplasty in patient with NSAIDs prescribing precaution. Half of participants will receive popliteal sciatic nerve block, abductor canal block and periarticular injection, while the other half will receive a sham block, abductor canal block and periarticular injection.

Detailed description

After informed and consent, all patients will be devided into two groups, Sciatic group (group S) and Controlled group (group C). All patients will receive adductor canal block, then patients in group S will receive Sciatic nerve block with low concentration bupivacaine and dexamethasone while partients in group C will receive sham block. All patient will receive spinal anesthesia and intraoperative periarticular injection. Postoperative pain score, muscle strength, total morphine consumption and adverse events will be record in case record form.

Interventions

adductor canal block with 0.33% bupivacaine 15 ml with ultrasound guided popliteal sciatic block with 0.125% bupivacaine 20 ml and dexamethasone 5 mg

adductor canal block with 0.33% bupivacaine 15 ml with ultrasound at popliteal sciatic area and subcutaneous infiltration popliteal area with 2% lidocaine 1 ml
