Study Summary

This trial compares the effectiveness of adductor canal blocks (ACB) administered by surgeons during knee replacement surgery to those administered by anesthesiologists before surgery. The goal is to see if surgeon-admin

Who is the study for?

This trial is for men and women over 18 years old who are scheduled for same-day discharge total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to osteoarthritis. It's not specified who can't join, but typically those with other major health issues or allergies to anesthesia might be excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing two ways of managing pain during knee surgery: surgeon-administered adductor canal blocks (sACB) versus the traditional method done by anesthesiologists (aACB). The goal is to see if sACBs are as effective when patients go home the same day after surgery.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Adductor canal blocks may cause side effects like numbness in the leg, weakness making it hard to walk right away, bruising or bleeding where the block was given, and less commonly infection or nerve damage.

What are the main goals that this clinical trial aims to achieve?

"The primary aim of this clinical investigation, monitored for approximately 24 hours, is to evaluate analgesic consumption. Secondary goals involve assessing the Timed Up and Go Test - a measure of mobility based on time taken to stand, walk a distance, turn around, return to the starting point, and sit down; readmission rates within 24 hours post-treatment discharge; and Patient Reported Global Health status determined by variations in scores derived from PROMIS-10 - Global Health questionnaire generating T-scores where higher values indicate improved health."
