Effect of Nervus Cutaneous Femoris Lateralis-Blockade on Moderate Pain Responders After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The patients will be included the 1. or 2. day after surgery. All THA patients will be screened. Those reporting VAS > 40 during active 30 degrees hip flexion will be asked to participate.
Included patients will receive 2xNCFL (singleshot) first placebo (8 ml saline) and then ropivacaine (8 ml ropivacaine 7,5mg/ml) or the other way around (randomized). There will be 45 minutes between the two blockades. The blockades will be ultrasound guided.
