Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  ULTRASOUND GUIDED COMBINED GENICULAR NERVE BLOCK AND ADDUCTOR CANAL BLOCK  Total drug prepared 40cc. 38 cc Inj Bupivacaine(0.25%)+ inj Dexamethasone 2 cc 1.ADDUCTOR CANAL BLOCK For USG-guided ACB, the probe will be placed at the medial part of the thigh and, the superficial femoral artery will be identified underneath the Sartorius muscle, with the vein just inferior and the saphenous nerve just lateral to the artery. Needle will be inserted in-plane in a lateral-to-medial direction and advanced towards the superficial femoral artery and the saphenous nerve. After correct placement of needle and negative aspiration, 20 ml of the drug mixture will be injected. 2. GENICULAR NERVE BLOCK :- For the genicular blocks, the ultrasound transducer will be placed parallel to the shaft of femur & tibia and the epicondyle will identified. The superolateral, superomedial, and inferomedial genicular arteries, which follow a similar route with their each genicular nerve will be visualized close to the periosteal areas. A 20G needle with a tip length of 50 mm will directed in the plane of the ultrasound probe in the long-axis view. After confirming the placement of the needle-tip next to a genicular artery, the superior lateral, superior medial, and inferior medial genicular nerves will be given a total amount of 20 mL of drug mixture will be devided in equal increments at supralateral, supramedial, inframedial sites.  
Comparator Agent  USG GUIDED COMBINED IPACK AND ADDUCTOR CANAL BLOCK  Total drug prepared 40cc. 38 cc Inj Bupivacaine(0.25%)+ inj Dexamethasone 2 cc 1. ADDUCTOR CANAL BLOCK For USG-guided ACB, the probe will be placed at the medial part of the thigh and, the superficial femoral artery will be identified underneath the Sartorius muscle, with the vein just inferior and the saphenous nerve just lateral to the artery. Needle will be inserted in-plane in a lateral-to-medial direction and advanced towards the superficial femoral artery and the saphenous nerve. After correct placement of needle and negative aspiration, 20 ml of the drug mixture will be injected. 2. IPACK BLOCK;- The curvalinior transducer of the ultrasound will be used for the visualization of the anatomic landmarks. The procedure for the IPACK blocks will be initiated by the visualization of the popliteal artery and posterior surface of the distal femur. Then, the image of the femoral condyles and the popliteal artery will obtained. A 20G ultrasound-visible echogenic stimulation needle with a tip length of 100 mm for peripheral nerve blocks will be inserted in a medial to the lateral plane, parallel to the femur in the middle area between the popliteal artery and the femur. 20 mL of drug mixture will be given.

Brief Summary  
Our goal of study is to compare efficacy of two group of regional blocks For post-operative pain relief in total knee replacement patients.
64 patients will be randomly divided into two groups who are posted for elective total knee replacement surgery.
In one group , ultrasound guided adductor canal block and Genicular nerve block will be given postoperatively .
In second group ,ultrasound guided  adductor canal block and IPACK block will be given postoperatively .
Duration of analgesia will be assessed using VAS score till 24 hrs as a primary outcome .
as a secondary outcome Total numeber of rescue analgesia in 24 hrs , hemodynamic parameters, postoperative complication will be assessed
