Summary

Total knee replacement is a painful procedure. Many solutions have been proposed to diminish the post-operative doses of narcotics, including nerve blocks. The purpose of the study is to compare if the adjunction of intra-articular ropivacaine to a femoral block is more effective on narcotics consumption than the block alone after TKR.
