Summary
The purpose of this study is to further investigate the efficacy of adductor canal nerve
blocks for pain management after total knee replacement. Specifically we are studying
adductor canal nerve blocks in conjunction with epidural anesthesia, which is a combination
that has not been extensively researched before. Our question is whether combining these
modalities will enhance patient satisfaction after surgery and accelerate patients' readiness
to discharge.
