A Preliminary, Three-Arm, Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Adductor Canal Pain Catheters Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
In our preliminary study, we found no differences in clinical outcomes, pain scores, or patient-reported scores between a single-shot adductor canal block, a continuous infusion adductor canal catheter, and an intermittent bolus adductor catheter following total knee arthroplasty. Larger studies are needed to more definitively assess differences in outcomes between the treatment groups, particularly in the opioid-tolerant population.
