Ropivacaine has been studied previously and holds promise as an agent that offers a safe, efficacious, and better recovery profile than other conventional agents such as bupivacaine. The aim of the present study was to compare the safety and efficacy of equal volume of different concentration of ropivacaine for epidural analgesia in patients undergoing major lower limb orthopedic surgery.
