iPACK Block vs. Periarticular Infiltration for TKA Pain Control

Sponsor: Turgutlu State Hospital

Summary

This study aims to retrospectively compare two different multimodal analgesic techniques for pain management after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The primary purpose is to evaluate whether a combination of two specific nerve blocks administered by an anesthesiologist (Femoral Triangle Block + iPACK block) resulted in superior postoperative pain control compared to a hybrid combination of a nerve block and a local infiltration administered by the surgeon (FTB + Periarticular Infiltration \[PAI\]). The hypothesis is that the FTB + iPACK combination is associated with a significant reduction in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores with movement at 24 hours postoperatively. This is a retrospective, observational cohort study conducted at a single center, involving medical records of patients who underwent primary unilateral TKA. Data from patients who received either FTB + iPACK or FTB + PAI as part of their standard clinical care will be extracted and analyzed retrospectively.
