Table 2 The extent of motor blockade at different time points after TKA.
Time | No motor paralysis (Bromage I*) | With motor paralysis (Bromage II, III, IV*) | p value | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
FT+ACBs | FNB | FT+ACBs | FNB | ||
3 hours | 29 (37.7) | 18 (23.4) | 11 (14.3) | 19 (24.6) | 0.032** |
6 hours | 38 (49.4) | 25 (32.5) | 2 (2.6) | 12 (15.5) | 0.002** |
24 hours | 35 (45.5) | 31 (40.3) | 5 (6.5) | 6 (7.7) | 0.642** |
48 hours | 34 (44.2) | 29 (37.7) | 6 (7.8) | 8 (10.3) | 0.452** |
Data are presented as n (%). FT+ACBs – distal femoral triangle and distal adductor canal blocks; FNB, femoral nerve block. * Bromage scale grades: I – free movement of legs and feet; II, – just able to flex knees with free movement of feet; III – unable to flex knees with free movement of feet; IV – unable to move legs and feet. ** χ test. |
