Overview
Brief Summary
In this study, the invistigators aim to compare postoperative analgesia effectiveness between combined interspace between the popliteal artery and posterior capsule of the knee block (IPACK) and Adductor canal block vs. Adductor canal block alone after Arthroscopic knee surgeries focusing on VAS score assessment at 8 hours postoperative.
Detailed Description
Patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study will be randomly divided into two groups using their computer-generated random numbers such that even numbers will be enrolled in group A for Adductor canal block alone and odd numbers will be enrolled in group B for Adductor canal block and IPACK block.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Assessment of pain using the visual analogue scale (VAS) at 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours after the completion of the surgical procedure and skin closure.
Time Frame: 8 hours
Visual analogue scale (VAS) (scale 0-10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst imaginable pain). All the patients will have the VAS score explained and taught for self-assessment of pain at the time of enrolment for the study.
Secondary Outcomes
- The number of steps(24 hours)
- Total pethidine consumption(24 hours)
- The time till first analgesic requirement(as requested by patient)
