3 Local Anesthetics for Spinal Anesthesia in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty
Completed · Phase 4
Conditions studied: Osteoarthritis, Hip
In brief
Spinal anesthesia is commonly utilized for hip replacement surgery. Different medications used for spinal anesthesia work for different lengths of time. This study will compare three different spinal anesthesia medications in patients having hip replacement surgery to see if patients are able to get out of bed and walk earlier after surgery with one medication versus the others.
