Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Adductor Canal Block  Patients who have undergone Total Knee Arthroplasty post Spinal Anaesthesia will be giving Local Infiltration Anesthesia in Knee. Afterwards patient will be giving Adductor Canal Block under Ultrasound guidance. We will be observing pain relief at different time intervals post operatively using Numerical Rating Scale score 
Intervention  Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block  Patients who have undergone Total Knee Arthroplasty post Spinal Anaesthesia will be giving Local Infiltration Anesthesia in Knee. Afterwards patient will be giving Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block under Ultrasound guidance. We will be observing pain relief at different time intervals post operatively using Numerical Rating Scale score

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This study is a prospective interventional randomized comparative trial, comparing the Ultrasound guided Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block (30 ml of 0.25% Bupivacaine and 30 mcg Clonidine) and Adductor Canal Block (30 ml of 0.25% Bupivacaine and 30 mcg of Clonidine) in patients undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty under Subarachnoid block in a single centre in India. The primary outcome will be measured using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) postoperatively.
