About this trial
Arthroscopic knee surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures in orthopedic surgery. More than 50% of patients experience moderate to severe pain after the operation. Inadequate postoperative pain control and poor recovery quality can negatively impact physiotherapy protocols, prolong hospital stays, and consequently lead to cognitive dysfunction, systemic infections, and increased healthcare costs.
Therefore, reducing postoperative pain and improving recovery quality are of great importance. In our clinic, a variety of analgesic techniques are routinely employed as part of a multimodal analgesia approach for patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. One of these techniques is the simultaneous application of the IPACK block and the adductor canal block.
In this study, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of these blocks on postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.

Treatments tested in this trial
IPACK and adductor canal block with Bupivacaine 0.25%
Procedure/SurgeryiPACK block is infiltration between the Popliteal Artery and the Capsule of the Knee. iPACK and adductor canal blocks are performed with ultrasound guidence under sterile conditions.
Spinal Anesthesia with Bupivacaine
Procedure/SurgerySpinal Anesthesia is a basic anesthesia method used for years to grant anesthesia for surgeries for lower extremities and lower torso surgeries.
