50 arms: ACB + IPACK block without injection of local anesthetic

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

total length of hospital stay
total length of hospital stay as defined by number of days from date of surgery to date of discharge
Knee Society Score
Knee Society Score as recorded preoperatively and 6 weeks (± 2 weeks) postoperatively. The score is on a scale from 0-100. A higher value represents a better outcome.
WOMAC score
WOMAC score as recorded preoperatively and 6 weeks (± 2 weeks) postoperatively. The score is on a scale from 0-100. In contrast to the Knee Society Score, on the WOMAC a lower value represents a better outcome.
Visual Analog Scale
The Visual Analog Scale measures the patient's level of knee pain on a scale of zero to ten via what the patient expresses verbally. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) represents the degree of pain that the patient is experiencing at the time the measure is taken. Zero represents "pain-free". A 10 would represent pain so excruciating as to warrant emergency medical assistance, or as it is described to the patient, "the worst pain imaginable". Obviously, the lower the number, the better the outcome. There is no subscale.
Amount of narcotic medication utilized
Amount of narcotic medication utilized (daily dosage measured as a Milligram Morphine Equivalent (MME) value).
Ability to rise from a chair independently
Ability to rise from a chair independently (Yes/No)
Active range-of-motion (ROM)
Active ROM (range-of-motion) as measured by a goniometer (range of 0-135 degrees)
Distance that patient is able to walk
Distance that patient is able to walk, as measured in feet
Use of an ambulatory assistive device
Use of an ambulatory assistive device (Yes/No)
Return to driving
Return to driving (Yes/No)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of an Adductor canal block (ACB) + interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the knee (IPACK) block along with a single intraoperative injection of a standard local anesthetic that includes Ropivacaine, Epinephrine, Ketorolac, Clonidine and saline to an ACB + IPACK block without the intraoperative injection of a standard local anesthetic in patients undergoing Robotic Arm-Assisted TKA (RA-TKA).
