Comparison of the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) block and the genicular nerve block in primary total knee arthroplasty: A prospective randomized trial

In comparison with IPACK, GNB had lower opioid consumption in the early postoperative period while also promoting better mobilization.PMID:38438218 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2024.45.3.20230432
