Brief Summary

to investigate the effect of adductor canal block applied with two different approaches in the treatment of pain after TKA surgery on pain control and functional mobility.

Detailed Description

This prospective randomized trial is randomly divided into 3 groups using the method. Total knee arthroplasty is performed by the same surgical team.

is applied. The patients were divided into proximal ACB applied, distal ACB applied and control groups.

PROXİMAL ADDUKTOR CANAL BLOCK GROUPADDUKTOR CANAL BLOCKPatients are placed in the supine position and a high-frequency linear probe is inserted for a cross-sectional image of the groin and thigh. The femoral nerve is identified in the short axis near the inguinal crease and the ultrasound transducer is placed caudally beyond the femoral triangle. The location of the proximal block is determined where the superficial femoral artery passes under the medial border of the sartorius muscle (usually 8-12 cm distal to the inguinal crease). Using the in-plane technique, a 100 mm peripheral nerve block needle is advanced until the tip of the needle passes the sartorius muscle and enters the adductor canal from the lateral side of the superficial femoral artery, and 20 mL 0.375% Bupivacaine is administered. To verify block success, sensory function is assessed by pinprick testing along the saphenous nerve distribution by comparing the pinprick sensation to the unaffected limb.
DİSTAL ADDUKTOR CANAL BLOCK GROUPADDUKTOR CANAL BLOCKPatients are placed in the supine position, the mid-thigh point is determined as half the distance between the groin crease and the top of the patella. After the mid-thigh mark is marked with a sterile marking pen, the ultrasound transducer is positioned for a transverse view of the adductor canal into the mid-thigh. Under USG imaging, the femoral artery and saphenous nerve are identified. The distal position is determined where the USG probe moves away from the sartorius muscle of the femoral artery and proceeds deep into the adductor hiatus, and a 100 mm block needle passes the sartorius muscle with an in plane technique and 20 mL 0.375% Bupivacaine is administered to the lateral side of the femoral artery and saphenous nerve.
CONTROL GROUPCONTROL GROUPNo nerve block procedure is applied to patients.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
VISUAL ANALOGUE SCALE(VAS)POSTOPERATIVE 6, 12 AND 24 HOURS

VAS pain score was evaluated as "no pain" (score=0) and "worst pain" (score=10) and was divided into 3 groups according to the World Health Organization's pain intensity scale: score \<3 mild pain, 3-6 mild-moderate. degree pain and \>6 moderate-severe pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
first mobilization timewithin postoperative 24 hours

The first postoperative mobilization hours of the patients will be recorded.

length of hospital stayONE WEEK

The time between patients' admission and discharge will be recorded.

opioid usewithin postoperative 24 hours

Intravenous PCA will be applied to each patient and the total tramadol dose spent will be calculated.intravenous PCA (patient controlled analgesia) tramadol 50 mg at 10 mg / hour basal rate after loading (20 mg bolus dose + 30 minutes lock time)
