Summary

This study tested a special nerve block called the parasartorial compartment block to see if it reduces pain after knee surgery. Sixty adults having knee surgery under spinal anesthesia received the block plus standard painkillers. Researchers measured pain scores and how much extra pain medicine was needed. The goal is to find a way to control pain without affecting leg movement, which could help people get moving sooner after surgery.
