Patients scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty will receive motor sparing knee blocks with continuous adductor canal block along with multimodal analgesia started pre-operatively and continued into the postoperative period. The study will evaluate the feasibility of home discharge within the first 24 hours following total knee arthroplasty. We will also evaluate the pain scores in the first 5 days following the surgery, causes of delayed discharge and any adverse events.
