Mepivacaine vs Bupivacaine Spinal Anesthesia for TKA

Summary

This study is a prospective, double-blind prospective randomized controlled trial comparing mepivacaine and bupivacaine spinal anesthesia for same-day discharge readiness following a unilateral primary elective TKA procedure. Study data will be collected during the patient's hospital stay for their TKA procedure, and the primary outcome of same-day discharge readiness will be assessed the day of surgery. Patients will also be contacted at Day 3 post-op to assess for any complications, current level of pain, and pain medication utilization.
