Ultrasound Guided Infiltration of Popliteal Artery and Capsule of Knee [IPACK] versus IPACK with Adductor Canal Block [ACB] for Postoperative Knee Surgery Analgesia: A Comparative Study [PDF]
Background: Perioperative pain control largely affects postoperative recovery and surgical outcome. Post-operative pain after knee surgery may delay early ambulation and impair quality of recovery.

Functional and Analgesic Effects of iPACK Blocks Added to Continuous Adductor Canal Blocks for ACL Reconstruction With Quadriceps Tendon Autograft: A Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]
Background: An adjunctive infiltration between popliteal artery and capsule of the posterior knee (iPACK) block—an infiltration between the popliteal artery and posterior knee capsule—has been used in knee surgery to address posterior knee pain ...

iPACK block with adductor canal block vs. lumbar erector spinae plane block (L-ESPB) in total knee arthroplasty: a randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial [PDF]
Introduction Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with severe pain. We examined whether an ultrasound-guided, single-injection L2 erector spinae plane block could improve analgesia compared to an ultrasound-guided iPACK (infiltration between the ...

Efficacy of IPACK block combined with intra-articular steroid injection in advanced knee osteoarthritis: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Background Knee osteoarthritis is a major cause of chronic pain and functional limitation, particularly in advanced stages. Intra-articular steroid injections and genicular nerve interventions are commonly used for pain control; however, these methods ...

No Additive Analgesic Effect of Interspace Between Popliteal Artery and Capsule of the Knee Block Over Local Infiltration Analgesia Only Around Arthrotomy Site in Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty [PDF]
Background: Local infiltration analgesia only around the arthrotomy site (LIAA) is simple and without risk of neurological injury. However, the clinical importance of posterior knee pain in one-stage bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA) is still ...

A Preliminary Observational Case Series of Combined Genicular Nerve Block and iPACK for Total Knee Arthroplasty. [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with severe postoperative pain that can impair early mobilization and prolong recovery. While adductor canal block combined with iPACK is commonly recommended, this strategy may provide incomplete articular coverage and occasionally compromise quadriceps function. Genicular nerve block (

A novel technique of intraoperative infiltration between posterior capsule and popliteal artery can reduce opioid consumption and blood loss in total knee arthroplasty surgery: an age- and gender-matched study [PDF]
Purpose Interspace infiltration between the posterior knee capsule and popliteal artery (iPACK) is an effective method for pain control following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
