Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 2
SUMMARY
The objective of this phase 2 study is to investigate the efficacy of Dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DEX) plus Methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) in combination with plain bupivacaine (B) compared with Liposomal Bupivacaine (LB) in combination with plain bupivacaine on post-surgical pain control among patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to asses if perineural B-DEX-MPA will result in superior analgesia efficacy as compared to B-LB. This study will also assess if perineural B-DEX-MPA results in improved quality of postoperative recovery as compared to B-LB.

• American Society of Anesthesiologists status I, II and III, elective, primary, unilateral TKA planned for spinal anesthesia with plain 0.5% bupivacaine.
Nerve blockade administration will be carried out per standard of care. All patients will receive single injection under ultrasound guidance with adductor canal block comprised of 20 ml 0.25% plain bupivacaine + 10 ml LB (133 mg) with the total volume of 30 ml; 10 ml 0.25% plain bupivacaine + 10 ml LB (133 mg) with the total volume of 20 ml will be administered through an Interspace between the popliteal artery and capsule of the posterior knee (iPACK) block.
Nerve blockade administration will be carried out per standard of care. All patients will receive single injection under ultrasound guidance with adductor canal block comprised of 30 ml 0.25% plain bupivacaine + 5 mg DEX (0.5 ml) and 40 mg MPA (1 ml); 20 ml 0.25% plain bupivacaine + 5 mg DEX (0.5 ml) and 40 mg MPA (1 ml) will be administered through an iPACK block.
