Total knee arthroplasty is a life-changing surgical procedure that is associated with a high incidence of severe postoperative pain. Key to enhancing recovery after surgery is effective analgesia and early mobilisation. Innovations in motor-sparing regional anaesthesia techniques that have improved recovery include targeted surgical local infiltration analgesia, adductor canal blockade, genicular nerve blocks, and the infiltration between the popliteal artery and posterior capsule of the knee (iPACK) block.

Introduction: To comprehensively compare the effect of different peripheral nerve blocks for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Materials And Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were comprehensively searched. The outcomes included postoperative pain, postoperative function, adverse events, oral morphine equivalent (OME), and perioperative indicators.

Study Objective: A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to compare the analgesic efficacy of the following nerve block techniques: femoral nerve block (FNB), adductor canal block (ACB), infiltration between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (iPACK), and genicular nerve block (GNB) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Design: Systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA).

Patients And Measurements: We searched the Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases until September 20, 2022.

The infiltration of the interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) block, is a novel ultrasound-guided technique used for postoperative pain management of the knee. The success of the block is attributed to the spread of injectate between the capsule of the knee and the popliteal artery. This novel technique is believed to target the articular branches of the tibial, common fibular (peroneal) and obturator nerves.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of genicular block and interspace between the popliteal artery and the posterior capsule (IPACK) block in the reduction of postoperative pain, the need for rescue analgesics, and the effects on a range of motion (ROM) in patients with TKA.

Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study was carried out between February and May 2023. Based on the block method, 60 participants were divided into three equal groups.
