Brief Summary   Comparison between dexmedetomidine and fentanyl, used as additive to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine in spinal anaesthesia, for quality and duration of sensory-motor block and for duration of postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Control group is the one in which normal saline is used as additive to 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine in spinal anaesthesia.
