Primary outcomePrimary: Pain Measurement Via VAS (Visual Analog Scale) — 4.11; 4.68; 4.36 score on a scale
Summary
The primary aim of this pilot study will be to develop a clinically meaningful, patient-centric, and pragmatic protocol to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of different strategies for achievement of the ideal balance between analgesia and functional mobility following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
