A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults undergoing total knee arthroplasty are randomized to receive the standard adductor canal block with infiltration or an enhanced quadruple sensory block. The quadruple block includes the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block, IPACK for posterior knee sensation, and obturator nerve block, aiming to spare motor function while improving analgesia. The trial focuses on analgesic efficacy and safety of the combined approach in the perioperative period. No phase information is provided.
