Brief Summary:
Total knee arthroplasty or replacement (TKA), a commonly performed surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee, is a painful procedure and requires a multimodal analgesic approach. A method for analgesia is local infiltration analgesia (LIA), where a mixture of drugs is injected around the knee joint.
Adductor canal block (ACB) is an alternative regional anaesthesia technique which has been shown to result in minimal thigh weakness.
The investigators aim to study if the analgesia provided by ACB is superior to LIA while preserving quadriceps strength.
