Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  combined adductor canal block and IPACK(injection between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the knee) block   Patients in “IP” group will receive IPACK block and adductor canal block post operatively under ultrasound guidance.The transducer will then be moved caudally observing the femoral artery as it dives into the popliteal fossa through the adductor hiatus to become the popliteal artery. At this point, the transducer will be moved posteriorly and inferiorly to visualize the space between the popliteal artery and the shaft of the femur just superior to the femoral condyles. The needle will be inserted, in plane, from the anterior end of the transducer in a medial to lateral trajectory, keeping the needle parallel to the acoustic shadow of the femur. 15 mL of 0.2% Ropivacaine will be injected after negative aspiration for blood. The patients in this group will also receive Adductor Canal Block, in which the adductor canal will be identified beneath the sartorius muscle at the mid-thigh level. 20 mL of 0.2% Ropivacaine will be injected into this space. Parameters recorded will included age, gender, American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) score, body mass index, Numerical rating score (NRS) pain scores at rest and on movement , range of movement and rescue analgesia will be recorded at 8,12, 24 hours post operatively.  
Comparator Agent  intra-articular ropivacaine and morphine and Genicular Nerve Block  In the “IA” Group intra-articular Morphine (3 mg) along with 0.2% Ropivacaine 12 mL will be infiltrated into the intra articular space using all aseptic and antiseptic precautions. Patients will also receive ultrasound guided Genicular Nerve Blocks post operatively.
