While local infiltration analgesia (LIA) is commonly employed, its clinical utility is limited by inconsistent analgesic duration (median duration of 8\u201312\u00a0hours), technical variability among surgeons, and systemic toxicity risks associated with high-volume injections. This phase II randomized controlled trial evaluates a dual-optimization strategy combining anatomic mapping-guided periarticular cutaneous nerve (PCN) blockade with a sustained-release triamcinolone-ropivacaine formulation to address these limitations.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In this single-center, assessor-blinded, 2 \u00d7 2 factorial design, 120 adults undergoing primary unilateral TKA were randomized to four intervention arms: Group 1: Conventional iPACK (interspace between the popliteal artery and posterior knee capsule) site + novel formulation (1% ropivacaine + 40 mg triamcinolone); Group 2: PCN block site + standard formulation (1% ropivacaine + 5 mg dexamethasone); Group 3: PCN block + novel formulation; Group 4: Control (iPACK + standard formulation). Triamcinolone acetonide replaces dexamethasone in the new formulation due to its prolonged anti-inflammatory effect and demonstrated efficacy in periarticular analgesia. Primary endpoints included: resting\/movement-induced pain intensity (Visual Analog Scale) at 6, 24, and 48 h postoperatively, cumulative opioid consumption (morphine milligram equivalents), functional recovery metrics (knee flexion angle, Timed Up-and-Go test). Secondary outcomes assessed safety through adverse event rates (infection, neurologic symptoms, hemodynamic instability).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Anatomic mapping-guided PCN blockade combined with triamcinolone-ropivacaine formulation significantly improves postoperative analgesia and functional outcomes compared to conventional LIA techniques. This dual-optimization approach may redefine periarticular infiltration standards in TKA, particularly for patients at high risk of opioid-related complications.<\/jats:p>\n
