NCT02033356

Brief Summary

The aim of this prospective dose finding study is to estimate the minimal effective volume (ED95) for lidocaine 1.0% for filling the adductor canal when placing an adductor canal block. We will apply the Continual Reassessment Method (CRM) for estimating the ED95 and use an MRI scan to evaluate the main objective and ensure spread to the distal part of the adductor canal.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To estimate the ED 95 for the volume needed to fill the adductor canal distally.

    This will be evaluated as a binary outcome using MRI; where the adductor canal is considered to be filled if the lidocaine injectate can be identified inside the canal in the first slice distally to the insertion of the adductor longus muscle on femur.

    MRI performed 15 minutes post block

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • To investigate the effect of volume on proximal spread to the femoral triangle

    MRI performed 15 minutes post block

  • Quadriceps muscle strength

    1 hour post block

  • Pin prick test

    1 hour post block

  • Temperature discrimination test

    1 hour post block
