Infiltration of Local Anesthetics Between the Popliteal Artery and Capsule of the Knee (iPACK) With Femoral Triangle Block (TFB) Versus Surgical Local Infiltration Analgesia (LIA) in Unilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA): A Multicenter Double-blind, Prospective Randomized Controlled Study.
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The goal of this study is to compare the anesthetic combination iPACK with femoral triangle block versus surgical LIA for unilateral TKA. We hypothesize that an iPACK block with femoral triangle block is non-inferior to surgical LIA. Furthermore, due to visualization of the relevant neural and vascular structures, the risk of accidental popliteal block, nerve damage or LAST with (a blindly performed) LIA could theoretically be reduced.
