Background: Effective pain control in Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is important for optimizing the rehabilitation process in order to achieve patient satisfaction with a good functional outcome as well as reduce hospitalization duration and costs. Combined use of aesthetic with tramadol has been reported to achieve a longer duration of sensory and motor block. The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality and duration of postoperative analgesia produced by ultrasound guided femoral nerve block (FNB) by bupivacaine versus (bupivacaine & tramadol) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia. Methods: This prospective randomized controlled double blinded study was carried out on 60 patients aged above 50 years; American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA) I-III scheduled for total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia. Patients were randomized to one of two equal groups: Group I control (C): received FNB with 30 ml 0.25% bupivacaine. Group II tramadol (T): received FNB with 30ml 0.25% bupivacaine and 100 mg tramadol. Results: Postoperative heart rate was significantly increased in group C than group T at 8h, 12h, 16h and 24h. Postoperative mean arterial blood pressure was significantly increased in group C than group T at 6h, 8h, 12h, 16h and 24h. There were 30 (100%) patients required rescue analgesia in group C and 19 (63.33%) patients in group T which was increased significantly in group C than group T. The time to first analgesic requirement was significantly decreased in group C than group T. Total morphine consumption was increased significantly in group C than group T. VAS was increased significantly in group C than group T at 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 hours. Adverse effects were insignificantly different between both groups. Conclusion: Adding tramadol (100 mg) to 0.25% bupivacaine (to a volume of 30 ml) during US guided FNB of TKA under spinal anesthesia was associated with better postoperative analgesia when compared with 0.25% bupivacaine alone.
