Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block and Adductor Canal Block

July 27, 2023 updated by: Ezgi POLAT, Istanbul Medeniyet University

Effects of Adding Adductor Canal Block to Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block in Hallux Valgus Correction Operations

The goal of this observational study is to determine the effect of adding adductor canal block to popliteal sciatic nerve block on patient-surgeon satisfaction, intraoperative sedation need, tourniquet pain, return time of motor block, and postoperative pain in patients undergoing hallux valgus correction surgery. The main question it aims to answer are:

  • Does peroperative pain decrease?
  • Do patient-surgeon satisfaction increase? The patients were divided into two groups, the Popliteal Sciatic Block (PSB) group, and the Popliteal Sciatic Block + Adductor Canal Block (PSB + ACB) group.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups as popliteal sciatic nerve block (Group PSB), popliteal sciatic nerve + adductor canal block (Group PSB + ACB). In this study, 52 patients scheduled for hallux valgus correction operations, in the American Society of Anesthesiologists I-III groups, between the ages of 18-80, were enrolled. Study was planned as a prospective, randomized and controlled trial. All patients were perfomed PSB with 10 ml 0.5% bupivacaine and 10 ml 2% prilocaine in the prone position, using ultrasonography and nerve stimulator. 10 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine and 10 ml of 2% prilocaine were administered to the patients in the ACB + PSB group in the supine position, in addition to PSB. Patients with coagulopathy, infection at the region site of regional blockade, allergy of local anesthetic drugs, peripheral neuropathy and neurogenic disorders affecting the lower extremities, peripheral artery disease, mental retardation and those who did not give consent to study were excluded. All patients were sedated with 1-2 mg midazolam and 50 µg fentanyl. After the blocks were performed , sensory -motor block onset time, surgery-tourniquet time, tourniquet pain, motor block time, pain onset time, first analgesic administration time (NPRS≥4) and analgesic administered were recorded. Anesthesiologists evaluating these data were blinded to group distribution .

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Active Comparator: Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block
Patients are in the group undergoing popliteal sciatic block
Procedure: Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block
Patients undergoing popliteal sciatic block, the side where the procedure would be performed in the prone position was sterilized after appropriate antisepsis. After visualizing the popliteal artery in the popliteal fossa with the probe it was advanced proximally in a horizontal and minimally lateral position to determine the point of separation of the tibial and peroneal nerves from the sciatic nerve. Subcutaneous local anesthesia was applied at this point after the skin, and the stimulator needle was advanced towards the sciatic nerve in an in-plane approach, passing through the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and then the nerve stimulator was opened up to 1 mA. After observing motor movement in the foot, the stimulator was reduced to 0.3-0.5 mA, and after observing motor movements for duration of 0.1 ms, 10 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine + 10 ml of 2% prilocaine were administered to the target tissue
Active Comparator: Adductor Canal Block
Patients are in the group undergoing popliteal sciatic block + adductor canal block
Procedure: Adductor canal block
Patients in the group undergoing popliteal sciatic block + adductor canal block, with the extremity to be blocked slightly externally rotated, the anterior part of the thigh was prepared with the necessary antiseptic procedures while the patient was in the supine position. Using an ultrasound probe, the femoral artery was visualized by advancing the ultrasound probe distally, and the saphenous nerve was identified just lateral to the femoral artery, beneath the sartorius muscle. At the junction of the sartorius muscle and vastus medialis, 10 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine + 10 ml of 2% prilocaine were applied to the periphery of the saphenous nerve. Subsequently, the patient was turned prone, and a popliteal sciatic block was performed.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
