We hypothesized that the addition of a novel technique for posterior knee block, known as the infiltration between the popliteal artery and capsule of the knee (iPACK) block, to LIA with CACB would reduce opioid requirements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this double-blinded randomized controlled trial, 72 patients were assigned to receive either LIA with CACB (LIA+CACB group) or iPACK block with LIA and CACB (iPACK+LIA+CACB group). The primary outcome was cumulative postoperative intravenous morphine consumption within 24 hours. The secondary outcomes included numerical rating scale pain scores, incidence of posterior knee pain, performance test results, patient satisfaction, length of stay, and adverse events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Morphine consumption within 24 hours postoperatively showed no significant intergroup difference (LIA+CACB; 1.31\u00b11.85 mg vs iPACK+LIA+CACB; 0.61\u00b11.25 mg, p=0.08). There were no clinically significant differences in the overall pain scores between the groups. The lower Timed Up and Go test scores on postoperative days 1 and 2, along with a shorter duration of hospitalization, were found in the iPACK+LIA+CACB group (p&lt;0.05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The addition of an iPACK block to the LIA and CACB does not reduce the postoperative opioid consumption nor improve analgesia.
