Popis: Abstract This trial examined the effectiveness of the popliteal plexus block (PPB) and tibial nerve block (TNB) for early rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We allocated 136 participants to receive PPB or TNB with 0.25% levobupivacaine 10 mL in a randomized, double-masked manner. The primary outcome was achieving rehabilitation goals with a non-inferiority 9-hour margin, including adequate pain relief, knee flexion angles over 90 degrees, and enabling ambulatory rehabilitation. The time to reach rehabilitation goals showed non-inferiority with 49.7 ± 10.5 h for TNB and 47.4 ± 9.7 h for PPB, whose mean difference (PPB - TNB) was − 2.3 h (95% CI -5.8 to 1.2 h; P
