Surgeons can do nerve blocks just as well as anesthesiologists for knee replacement pain
NCT ID NCT05601427
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether surgeons can give a numbing shot (adductor canal block) during knee replacement surgery as effectively as an anesthesiologist does before surgery. 200 adults with knee osteoarthritis having same-day discharge were randomly assigned to one of the two methods. The goal was to see if the surgeon-performed block provides similar pain control and allows patients to go home safely on the same day.
