Summary
This is a prospective, randomized control trial to compare SPANK block combined with adductor
canal block to adductor canal block alone in treatment of post-operative pain after total
knee arthroplasty. The primary outcome is pain control, which will be measured throughout the
post-operative course using morphine equivalents of opioid analgesics used during the first
24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes include pain scores recorded at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20,
and 24 hours post-operatively, cumulative pain score, incidence of post-operative nausea and
vomiting, and extent of motor blockade. The study will aid in answering the question of
whether SPANK block is an effective adjunct in preventing pain and decreasing opioid
requirement after TKA.
