Interventions

SNB plus CFNBprocedure

A single shot sciatic nerve block (SNB) is performed with 25 ml of 0.2% ropivacaine before surgery in addition to an isolated continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB) in the control group

CFNBprocedure

A continuous femoral nerve block is performed for peri-operative analgesia and a bolus of 30 ml of ropivacaine 0.375% is injected before induction of general anesthesia and surgery starts. An infusion of 8ml/h of ropivacaine 0.2% is started in post anesthesia care unit (PACU) and maintained for 48h
