Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  USG GUIDED COMBINED ADDUCTOR CANAL BLOCK AND IPACK BLOCK   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 negative aspiration, 1–2 mL of the drug mixture of inj Bupivacaine 0.25% will be injected to verify Correct placement of the needle.Then 20 ml of the drug mixture of Bupivacaine(0.25%) will be injected to complete the block. 2.IPACK BLOCK with the patient in supine position, pillow below leg and knee slightly flexion, the IPACK block will be given scanning the popliteal fossa with a curved low-frequency transducer.The area will be scanned proximally to identify the popliteal artery and femoral shaft.Then transducer will slide proximally until the condyle disappeared and the femoral shaft will be identified. At this point, the needle will be inserted in-plane at the lateral aspect of the transducer and needle tip will be located between the femur and popliteal artery. After confirmation of needle placement 20 ml of the drug mixture of Bupivacaine(0.25%) will be injected after negative aspiration. 
Comparator Agent  USG GUIDED FEMORAL NERVE BLOCK AND SCIATIC NERVE BLOCK   1.FEMORAL NERVE BLOCK With the patient in the supine position, the skin over the femoral crease will be disinfected and the transducer will be positioned to identify the femoral artery and nerve.The nerve is enveloped within two layers of the fascia iliaca. The femoral nerve typically is visualized at a depth of 2–4 cm.Once the femoral nerve is identified,The needle will be inserted inplane in a lateral to medial orientation and advanced toward the femoral nerve.A local anesthetic solution of 15mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will then injected 2.SCIATIC NERVE BLOCK Patients in the sciatic nerve group(Anterior Approach ) will be placed in supine position with the hip and knee on the operated side flexed and the leg externally rotated at approximately 45 degrees. After skin sterilization The ultrasound transducer will first be positioned perpendicular to the skin approximately 8 cm distal to the inguinal crease. The location will then scanned by sliding and tilting the transducer until a clear transverse image of the hyperechoic sciatic nerve located posterior and medial to the lesser trochanter will be obtained .Once the sciatic nerve is identified The needle will be advanced slowly A nerve stimulator with current intensity 2mA with stimulating frequency of 2 Hz will be turned on to elicit foot plantarflexion or dorsiflexion at 0.7 mA. A drug solution of 25mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will then injected.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Our goal of study is to compare efficacy of two group of regional blocks For post-operative analgesia in total knee arthroplasty patients.
32 patients will be randomly divided into two groups who are posted for elective total knee arthroplasty.
In one group , ultrasound guided adductor canal block and IPACK block will be given postoperatively .
In second group ,ultrasound guided femoral nerve block and sciatic nerve block (Anterior approach) will be given postoperatively .
Duration of analgesia will be assessed using VAS score till 24hr as a primary outcome . 
as a secondary outcome Total number of dose of rescue analgesia given in the 24hr post procedural , Degree of active knee flexion at 20hr and 24hr post procedural using goniometer ,vital parameters at timely interval till 24hr , extent of motor blockage post procedural will be assessed
