About this study

Official title: Comparative Efficacy of Popliteal Sciatic Nerve and Lumbar Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Blocks for Postoperative Analgesia in Tibia Fractures: a Retrospective Cohort Study

In this study, patients who underwent osteosynthesis with plate via standard anterolateral incision due to proximal tibia fracture in the orthopedic clinic within the last year; those who underwent perioperative anesthesia with spinal block, those who underwent postoperative analgesia with Ultrasound-guided popliteal sciatic nerve block, lumbar-sacral Erector Spine plane block combinations in the recovery unit will be identified and their files will be scanned retrospectively. Gender, surgical duration, postoperative block, pre-post block pain levels will be reviewed via Visual Analog Scale scoring, postoperative analgesics consumed and their amounts, Bromage scale, mobilization times, block-related complications, satisfaction levels will be determined and these two groups of patients who underwent block will be compared in terms of analgesia, complications, and satisfaction.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Erector Spinae (ESP) Block with Lidocaine/BupivacaineOther

    This study is to retrospectively compare the analgesic efficacy and impact on postoperative recovery of popliteal sciatic nerve blocks and Lumbar-Sacral Erector Spinae Plane blocks administered for postoperative pain management in tibial fractures.

  • Popliteal Sciatic Nerve BlockOther

    This study is to retrospectively compare the analgesic efficacy and impact on postoperative recovery of popliteal sciatic nerve blocks and Lumbar-Sacral Erector Spinae Plane blocks administered for postoperative pain management in tibial fractures.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Erector Spinae Plane Block GroupPatients who underwent spinal anesthesia due to tibial fracture will be identified from their follow-up files. Among these patients, those who underwent erector spinae plane block with 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine and 5 ml of 1% lidocaine at the sacral level and 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine and 5 ml of 1% lidocaine at the L3 level while sitting under ultrasound guidance for postoperative analgesia will constitute this group.
Receives: Other: Erector Spinae (ESP) Block with Lidocaine/Bupivacaine
Sciatic Nerve Plane Block GroupPatients who underwent spinal anesthesia due to tibial fracture will be identified from their follow-up files. Among these patients, those who underwent popliteal sciatic nerve block with 30 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine while supine position under ultrasound guidance for postoperative analgesia will constitute this group.
Receives: Other: Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative Analgesia

    Postoperative analgesia will be assessed by Visual Analog Scale Score and postoperative analgesic consumption. The visual analog scale is a numerical assessment ranging from 0 to 10. A score of 0 is considered as no pain, a score of 5 is considered as moderate pain, and a score of 10 is considered as unbearable pain. Rescue intravenous analgesic treatment is applied to scores of 4 and above.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Block related complication

    Patients will be evaluated with Bromage Scale and mobilization times.The bromage scale is a numerical assessment ranging from 0 to 3. A score of 0 is No motor block, a score of 1 is Inability to raise extended leg; able to move knees and feet no pain, a score of 2 is Inability to raise extended leg and move knee; able to move feet, a score of 3 is Complete block of motor limb.It will also be checked when the patients can walk after the motor block has passed.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Erector Spinae Plane Block and Lower Extremity Surgery, run by Haseki Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative Analgesia (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jan 2025.
