Evaluation of Local Anesthetic Diffusion to the Sciatic Nerve During Adductor Canal Block
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
Adductor canal block is an effective analgesic technique for major knee surgery. However, the saphenous nerve block is not sufficient to explain this block's efficiency. It has been shown that adductor canal block can spread to the tibial and fibular nerves through the adductor hiatus. However, this diffusion's frequency has never been measured. The main objective of this study is to assess clinically the frequency of the spread of the adductor canal block to the fibular and tibial nerves.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Frequency of local anesthetic's spread to tibial and fibular nerve — at 4 hours
The primary outcome is the frequency of local anesthetic's spread to tibial and fibular nerve during an adductor canal block, assessed by sensory and motor testing of these nerve territories. Sensorimotor testing will be performed at four hours with loco-regional anaesthesia.
