Summary

Total knee replacement surgery is associated with significant pain in the immediate postoperative period, especially in movement. In turn, this is associated with more subsequent chronic pain.

There are multiple options and the tendency is to perform increasingly distal nerve blocks to minimize limb weakness and thus allow early rehabilitation. In 2012, in an oral communication, Sanjay Sinha described a new nerve block called iPACK ("Interspace between the Popliteal Artery and the Capsule of the posterior Knee"). There are few studies on the efficacy of such a blockade so far, but none comparing the groups saphene + sciatic blocks vs. saphene + iPACK blocks.

Therefore, this study aims to provide more information on the effectiveness this nerve blocks, in total knee replacement, in terms of analgesia and motor function.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

IPACK block with Bupivacaine 0.25% with adrenaline

The iPACK in performed in the popliteal fossa about 1 finger breath above the patella, ecoguided. That aims to anesthetize the articular branches to the posterior aspect of the knee in the popliteal region.
