Saphenous Nerve Block Versus Femoral Nerve Block for Total Knee Arthroplasty

19. april 2022 opdateret af: Hospital for Special Surgery, New York

Saphenous (Adductor Canal) Nerve Block Versus Femoral Nerve Block for Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Novel Approach for Postoperative Analgesia

Currently, the regional anesthetic standard of care for total knee replacement surgery is combined spinal/epidural, with or without a femoral nerve block, or FNB. Lasting approximately 18 hours, the FNB works by numbing the femoral nerve (and its branches), which is the major nerve controlling the knee joint. The femoral nerve also provides movement and sensation. While this regional anesthetic technique offers significant postoperative pain relief, it is possible that it may cause muscle weakness and increase patients' recovery time. Hence there is a need for an alternative technique, one that may help minimize postoperative pain as effectively as the FNB, while not causing weakness of the quadriceps muscle.

The saphenous nerve, a branch of the femoral nerve, provides sensation to the knee. Thus it is hypothesized that by "blocking" or anesthetizing the saphenous nerve with local anesthetic closer to where it branches off, the area around and below the knee will feel numb. Yet unlike with the FNB, the quadriceps muscle itself will still be able to function.

Patients will be randomized to receive FNB or saphenous nerve block. Quadriceps strength will be tested using a dynamometer before surgery (baseline), 6-8 hours following anesthesia administration, and on postoperative days 1 and 2. It is hypothesized that patients who receive FNB will experience a 50% decrease in quadriceps strength compared to baseline.

Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Experimental
Saphenous (Adductor Canal) Nerve Block
The study group will receive the saphenous nerve block, at the level of the adductor canal. The block will be under ultrasound guidance. The local anesthetic will be 15 ml of 0.5% bupivicaine. The study group will also receive a combined spinal epidural, with 2.5 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine as the spinal agent. Additional drugs include anti-emetics, specifically Ondansetron (4 mg).

Femoral Nerve Block
The control group will receive the femoral nerve block. The block will be under ultrasound guidance. The local anesthetic will be 30 ml of 0.25% bupivicaine. The control group will also receive a combined spinal epidural, with 2.5 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine as the spinal agent. Additional drugs include anti-emetics, specifically Ondansetron (4 mg).
