- Brief Summary
Pain management in total knee arthroplasty is aimed to minimize postoperative pain andimprove functional outcomes in patients. Although there are many methods used for controlling the painthere has been no consensus on most appropriate or the best protocol. Adductor canal block (ACB) hasthe unique advantage of providing localized analgesia but it doesn’t provide pain relief to the posteriorcapsule, it has been postulated that IPACK (interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of theknee) combined with ACB will provide better pain relief than ACB alone.
