Infiltration between the popliteal artery and capsule of the knee (iPACK) block is an emerging modality to control perioperative knee joint pain.

In addition, by placing the needle closely to the popliteal plexus, iPACK block could serve as an intervention for pain related to procedures such as radiofrequency ablation.
