Background: There is no consensus on whether adductor canal block (ACB) combined with infiltration between the popliteal artery and capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) block can further increase analgesia and reduce opioid consumption after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared with ACB and periarticular infiltration analgesia (PIA).
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining ACB and PACK block on analgesia and functional recovery following TKA.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 386 patients who underwent primary unilateral TKA at our institution from January 2020 to October 2022.

We aimed to compare the analgesic effects of intermittent multiple infiltrations between the popliteal artery and capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) combined with adductor canal block (ACB) and intermittent ACB alone in patients with flexion contracture knee arthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Forty-six patients who underwent elective unilateral TKA were divided into two groups ( = 23 each): intermittent multiple IPACK combined with ACB (group IA) and intermittent multiple ACB (group A). ACB was performed with 20 mL of 0.

Background: Quadriceps weakness following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) delays rehabilitation and increases fall risk. The combined impact of tourniquets and adductor canal blocks (ACBs) on postoperative quadriceps strength has not been defined. This study evaluated the early effects of tourniquet and/or ACB usage on quadriceps strength following TKA.

Background: Adductor canal blocks (ACBs) have been associated with reduced pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). There is a paucity of evidence regarding whether these early differences impact longer term outcomes. This study aimed to identify whether using ACB in TKA was associated with improvements in both early and late outcomes.
