Effect of Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block on Recovery and Recovery Quality After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Multicenter, Prospective Randomized Controlled, Double-blind Study

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2024

60 participants

Abstract

Total knee arthroplasty is the most commonly performed orthopedic surgery, especially in patients with advanced gonarthrosis and limited joint movement. After total knee arthroplasty, patients experience unbearably severe pain. Pain that is not adequately treated in the postoperative period increases the stress response in patients, increases the risk of embolism, causes bleeding in the surgical area, and causes undesirable conditions such as agitation and delirium in patients. This postoperative pain is successfully treated with various variants of multimodal analgesia.

Conditions: Analgesia, Anesthesia, Local.

Primary outcome: quality of recovery-15T.

Enrollment: 60 participants.
