Comparing Postoperative Functional Recovery and Analgesic Efficacy of a Single Shot Sciatic Nerve Block Versus Posterior Capsule/Fat Pad Infiltration of Local Anesthetic for Total Knee Arthroplasty

A Prospective, Unicenter, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Clinical Interventional Trial, Comparing the Postoperative Functional Recovery as Well as Analgesic Efficacy of a Single Shot Sciatic Nerve Block Versus Posterior Capsule/Fat Pad Infiltration of Local Anesthetic for Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Many methods of pain relief have been implemented in an attempt to provide safe and effective analgesia for patients following total knee arthroplasty.
Numerous studies have demonstrated that nerve blocks can provide superior pain control and reduce side effects.
There are two major nerves that provide sensation to the knee: the femoral nerve provides sensation to the front of the knee and sciatic nerve provides sensation to the back of the knee.
Putting local anesthetic close to these nerves provides superior pain control.
The literature has supported the use of femoral nerve block for analgesia as well as improved functional outcome after total knee arthroplasty.
The purpose of this study is to see if the same is true for sciatic nerve block for the back of the knee.
We also would like to study an alternative approach to make the back of the knee pain free.
This involves injecting local anesthetic directly into this area at the end of your surgery.Patients will be randomized into 3 groups: sciatic block, posterior infiltration of local anesthetic and placebo.This study will help further define the role of sciatic nerve block as well as the alternative technique of local anesthetic infiltration in the perioperative analgesic regimen of total knee arthroplasty surgery, in an effort to develop a standardized perioperative protocol for this patient population.
The advent of this protocol should allow reduced risk, improved analgesia, and potentially earlier discharged from hospital with better function.

Detaillierte Beschreibung
The objectives of this study are:
- Evaluate the role of sciatic nerve block in total knee replacement. There is conflicting data as to whether sciatic nerve block would provide significant analgesic benefit in addition to femoral nerve block and the usual multimodal and preemptive analgesic regimen for TKA.
- Investigate the efficacy of single-shot sciatic nerve block on early rehabilitation, functional recovery and patient satisfaction.
- Evaluate the previously described technique of local anesthetic infiltration into the posterior capsule/fat pad of the knee as an alternative technique to sciatic nerve block in providing analgesia to the posterior aspect of the knee in this select group of patients.
- Investigate the efficacy of local anesthetic infiltration into the posterior capsule/fat pad of the knee on early rehabilitation, functional recovery and patient satisfaction.
Study Design:
All patients will have a femoral nerve block (FNB) and spinal anesthesia.
Patients will be randomized into one of the 3 possible groups:
Group 1: Femoral nerve block + Sciatic nerve block + Spinal anesthesia + Infiltration of normal saline at the end of surgery
Group 2: Femoral nerve block + Sham Sciatic nerve block + Spinal anesthesia + Infiltration of local anesthetic at the end of surgery.
Group 3: Femoral nerve block + Sham Sciatic nerve block + Spinal anesthesia. + Infiltration of normal saline at the end of surgery.
In summary, this study will help further define the role of sciatic nerve block as well as the alternative technique of local anesthetic infiltration in the perioperative analgesic regimen of total knee arthroplasty surgery, in an effort to develop a standardized perioperative protocol for this patient population. The advent of this protocol should allow reduced risk, improved analgesia, and potentially earlier discharged from hospital with better function.
