Background. Damage to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is crippling and often requires an arthroscopic outpatient surgery. Nevertheless, many patients experience severe pain during the first day after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). The adductor canal block (ACB) has yielded conflicting results for post‐ACLR pain relief.

Implementation of the IPACK (Infiltration between the Popliteal Artery and Capsule of the Knee) block into a multimodal analgesic pathway for total knee replacement [PDF]
Background The Infiltration between the Popliteal Artery and Capsule of the Knee (IPACK) block is a new anesthesiologist- administered analgesic technique for controlling posterior knee pain that has not yet been well studied in total knee arthroplasty ...

Comparison of iPACK and periarticular block with adductor block alone after total knee arthroplasty: a randomized clinical trial [PDF]
The infiltration between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (iPACK) has been described to provide analgesia without loss of muscle strength and is effective in functional recovery. This study compared iPACK + ACB (adductor canal block) with PAI (periarticular infiltration) + ACB and ACB alone in terms of postoperative analgesia ...

The incidence of moderate to severe pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) ranges from 30-60% [1]. In the context of enhanced recovery after surgery, multimodal analgesia with peripheral nerve block as the core has become the main method of postoperative analgesia after TKA, and good analgesia is conducive to the early recovery of patients.

Optimization of regional analgesia after total knee arthroplasty based on ipack-block
AIM: To study the efficacy and safety of a combination of the IPACK and the adductor canal blocks (ACB) and compare with the femoral nerve block after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Double-blind, prospective, randomized, controlled trial with 101 patients.
