Primary outcome measure(s)

  • assessment of post operative inflammatuar markes — it will be recorded at 0, 15, and 30 minutes in the PACU, and at 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours on the ward.
    The primary objective of this observational study is to evaluate the effect of adding an anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block to the adductor canal block on the inflammatory response, as assessed by biomarkers such as NLR, PLR, AISI, and CAR, in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
