Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Active Comparator: C group the patients will take standard analgesia (paracetamol 1 gm thrice daily and meloxicam (15 mg) every 24). ,with no nerve block |
Drug: standard analgesia (paracetamol and meloxicam)
(paracetamol 1 gm thrice daily and meloxicam (15 mg) every 24).
Other Names:
|
| Active Comparator: G group the patients will take standard analgesia plus genicular nerves block |
Procedure: genicular nerve block plus standard analgesia
In supine position with a pillow under the popliteal fossa, a 12 MHz linear transducer (XarioTM SSA-660A, Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation, Otawara, Japan) will be placed parallel to the shaft of long bones of the legs. The target points will be next to superior lateral, superior medial, and inferior medial genicular arteries to block the superior lateral, superior medial, and inferior medial branches of genicular nerve. Identification will be done using color Doppler near the periosteal areas (the junctions of the epicondyle and the shafts of the femur and tibia, accordingly). The needle will be inserted in the plane of the ultrasound probe in the long-axis view. After confirming the placement of the needle-tip next to the genicular arteries, a 2.5 mL of bupivacaine (5%) will be injected at each target points.
Other Names:
Drug: standard analgesia (paracetamol and meloxicam)
(paracetamol 1 gm thrice daily and meloxicam (15 mg) every 24).

| Active Comparator: GI group the patients will take standard analgesia plus genicular nerves block plusinfiltration Between Popliteal Artery and Capsule of Posterior Knee |
Procedure: genicular nerve block plus infiltration Between Popliteal Artery and Capsule of Posterior Knee plus standard analgesia
IPACK block will be performed in supine position with flexion of the knee in 45o. low frequency transducer at a depth of 3.5-4 cm will be placed transversely over the medial aspect of the knee, 2-3 cm above the patella, with sliding the transducer proximally and distally to identify the distal part of the shaft of the femur and the popliteal artery ( If the two femoral condyles appear first, proximal sliding of the probe until the humps of the femoral condyles disappeared and the flat metaphysis appeared). Advance the needle in plane toward the space between the popliteal artery and the femur then 15 ml of bupivacaine 0.5% will be injected plus genicular nerve block
Other Names:
Drug: standard analgesia (paracetamol and meloxicam)
(paracetamol 1 gm thrice daily and meloxicam (15 mg) every 24).
