The Effect of Adding an IPACK Block to the Adductor Canal Block on Total Knee Arthroplasty Surgery
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Postoperative Pain, Acute
In brief
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a frequently performed major orthopedic surgery, where most patients experience severe postoperative pain. Pain-related delays in patient mobilization can lead to thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis, surgical site infection, and increased risk of hospital-acquired infections due to prolonged hospital stay. Optimal postoperative knee analgesia is crucial not only for patient comfort and satisfaction but also for accelerating mobilization, functional recovery, and discharge from the hospital. To facilitate early ambulation and superior performance, multimodal analgesia and motor-sparing blocks are increasingly utilized
