Summary

In our clinic, routine suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIB) has been administered for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty. Recently, we have introduced the IPACK (Infiltration between the Popliteal Artery and Capsule of the Knee) block to this regimen, and the aim of this retrospective study is to determine whether the addition of the IPACK block enhances the quality of analgesia. Knee arthroplasty, also known as knee joint replacement surgery, is a common procedure performed to alleviate pain and improve joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis or other knee-related conditions. Postoperative pain management is crucial for patient comfort and overall recovery. In this study, we aimed to compare the two techniques mentioned earlier, namely the SIFIB (Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block) and the SIFIB+IPACK, by examining the data of patients who underwent knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia at our clinic between January 1, 2023, and September 1, 2023.
