Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a prospective interventional randomized comparative trial, Comparing the ultrasound guided Femoral triangle block ( 15 ml of 0.25 % bupivacaine and 30 mcg clonidine) and adductor canal block ( 15 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine and 30 mcg clonidine) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty under subarachnoid block in a single centre in India. The primary outcome will be measured using Numerical rating score (NRS) postoperatively.
