Genicular Nerve Block After Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Tibial Plateau (NCT06639503)
Genicular Nerve Block for Analgesia After Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Tibial Plateau Fractures: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The investigators are conducting this research study to find better ways of treating pain following knee surgery. There is a standard (accepted) approach, which involves injection of numbing medication into the area around the participant surgical incision. The investigators hope to discover if providing numbing medication to a nerve that controls pain in a larger area of the knee (a nerve block), might be better at post-operative pain control.
