The goal of this study is to compare the anesthetic combination iPACK with femoral triangle block versus surgical LIA for unilateral TKA. We hypothesize that an iPACK block with femoral triangle block is non-inferior to surgical LIA. Furthermore, due to visualization of the relevant neural and vascular structures, the risk of accidental popliteal block, nerve damage or LAST with (a blindly performed) LIA could theoretically be reduced.
