Knee Arthroscopic Surgery

The goal of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2×2 factorial trial is to evaluate the effect of intraoperative dexmedetomidine combined with either femoral nerve block (FNB) or adductor canal block (ACB) on postoperative sleep quality in patients aged 18-85 years with ASA I-III undergoing elective knee arthroscopy under general anesthesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion (0.5 μg/kg/h) improve postoperative sleep quality as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at 24 h and 48 h after surgery? 2. Is there an interaction between the type of nerve block (FNB vs. ACB) and the use of dexmedetomidine on postoperative sleep quality?

The purpose of this study is to determine how patient nutrition effects post-operative outcomes for patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery

The primary aim of the study is to investigate whether video-based education and exercise-program is non-inferior to in-person instructions in improving pain-related self-efficacy in patients undergoing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in a day-hospital setting. Secondary aims are to explore the potential superiority of the video-based program compared to in-person instructions in reducing disability and kinesiophobia in the same patient population.

In this study participants are aiming to compare triple injection peri-sartorius (TIPS) block versus intravenous analgesia for postoperative analgesia after knee arthroscopy regarding efficacy of pain relief and early ambulation
