Study question: Is there an ideal combination of intraoperative long acting analgesics (periarticular infiltration (PI), femoral nerve block (FB) and intrathecal opioids (IO)) to optimize post-operative functional recovery, decrease overall narcotic consumption and enable faster 'readiness to discharge' for patients undergoing primary total knee replacement (TKR)?
