Summary

This study compares two numbing medicines given as spinal anesthesia for total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see if prilocaine, which wears off faster than bupivacaine, helps patients regain leg movement sooner and start rehabilitation earlier. About 50 Asian adults having elective knee replacement will take part. The research aims to improve recovery and patient satisfaction.
