Phase 4 Completed 153 enrolled University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen

RandomizedParallel-groupTriple-blindTreatment

Summary

In this study we wish to investigate the analgesic effect of the administration of 0.2% ropivacaine for an adductor canal block as repeated boluses (20 ml every 8 hours) through a new suture-method catheter or a standard perineural catheter compared with a single bolus (20 ml), in patients following primary total knee arthroplasty.
