  Background: A combined adductor canal block (ACB) and sciatic nerve block (SNB) is new different way to achieve an efficient postoperative analgesia after total knee replacement (TKR) that spares the weakness of quadriceps femoris muscle. This prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the efficiency and safety of the combined adductor canal with sciatic nerve blocks versus local analgesic infiltration alone for pain control after total knee replacement. Patients and methods: Forty patients (ASA II, and III), undergoing unilateral total knee replacement, were randomly and allocated to two groups (20 patients each), block group (ACB+SNB): the patient received US- guided adductor canal block combined with sciatic nerve block, local group (LAI): patient received local analgesic injection (LAI) to entire of the knee joint.
