• Osteoarthritis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Canal Block and Capsular Injection	Continuous Adductor canal block with 15ml of ropivacaine 0.2% with epinephrine 1:400,000 followed by an infusion of ropivacaine 0.2% at 6ml per hour for 2 days post operatively. This is combined with ultrasound guided posterior capsular knee injection with 30ml ropivacaine 0.2% with epinephrine 1:400,000.
PROCEDURE	Femoral Nerve Block with Tibial Nerve Block	Continuous femoral nerve block with 15ml of ropivacaine 0.2% followed by an infusion of ropivacaine 0.2% at 6ml per hour for 2 days after surgery combined with tibial nerve block in the popliteal fossa with ropivacaine 0.5% up to 15ml.
