Brief Summary  

Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty experience a lot of pain. A good analgesia in turn leads to quicker mobilization and lesser length of hospital stay which in turn is cost effective. In this study, a comparison was made between epidural infusion and adductor canal infusion keeping LIA and systemic analgesics common in both the groups. Another important aspect of this study is the evaluation of pain at 3 months post surgery as the incidence of chronic pain has been seen in approximately 20% of patients postoperatively.
