No PAI + ACB & IPACK
Control: saline injection (same injection technique and volumes as described for the active intervention, of normal saline) Saline Control Periarticular Injection (PAI): equal volume of saline will be used in place of analgesics used in PAI injections
PAI + ACB & IPACK
Active intervention: Periarticular injection: one deep injection prior to cementation and then a second more superficial injection prior to closure. The deep injection will consist of bupivacaine 0.25% with 1:200,000 epinephrine, 30 cc; morphine, 8 mg/ml, 1cc; methylprednisolone, 40 mg/ml, 1 ml; cefazolin, 500 in 10 ml; normal saline, 22cc. The superficial injection will be 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine Periarticular Injection (PAI): PAI is a widely-utilized, surgeon-performed, analgesic intervention for TKA patients.

Timeframe: at preoperation

The PAIN OUT questionnaire has multiple numeric scale questions on pain relief as well as pain intensity, along with Yes/No questions. There are also questions asking which pain relief techniques were used (multiple choice). All questions are scored on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 meaning no pain/does not interfere/not at all and 10 meaning worst pain/completely interferes/extremely. A higher score means a worse outcome.

Timeframe: 24 hours post surgical discharge.

Quality of Recovery (QoR-9), This questionnaire has three options for scale (not at all, some of the time, most of the time). The QoR-9 is a nine-item scale. Total QoR-9-scores range from 0 to 18, with higher scores indicating good recovery after anaesthesia. The questions focus on the overall well being of the patient. The questionnaire will be asked 24 hours post surgical discharge.

Population: The number analyzed at POD 3 months differs from the overall number of participant due to lost to follow up.

The DN4 ( Douleur Neuropathique en 4 Questions) is a Yes/No questionnaire aimed at uncovering neuropathic pain symptoms. Each question is scored as yes or no, with yes = 1 point and no = 0 points. Total score is calculated by summing the total of the individual question scores, for a total score range of 0-10, with a score of greater than or equal to 4 indicating the patient may be suffering from neuropathic pain. The average score across all participants is calculated and reported for each time point.

The standard Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS Jr.) questionnaire will be asked to evaluate orthopedic outcomes. The KOOS, JR contains 7 items from the original KOOS survey. Items are coded from 0 to 4, none to extreme respectively. KOOS, JR is scored by summing the raw response (range 0-28) and then converting it to an interval score. The interval score ranges from 0 to 100 where 0 represents total knee disability and 100 represents perfect knee health. The questionnaire will be asked preoperatively, 6 weeks post operative discharge, 3 months post operative discharge.

Measure
No PAI + ACB & IPACK
n=47 Participants
Control: saline injection (same injection technique and volumes as described for the active intervention, of normal saline) Saline Control Periarticular Injection (PAI): equal volume of saline will be used in place of analgesics used in PAI injections
PAI + ACB & IPACK
n=47 Participants
Active intervention: Periarticular injection: one deep injection prior to cementation and then a second more superficial injection prior to closure. The deep injection will consist of bupivacaine 0.25% with 1:200,000 epinephrine, 30 cc; morphine, 8 mg/ml, 1cc; methylprednisolone, 40 mg/ml, 1 ml; cefazolin, 500 in 10 ml; normal saline, 22cc. The superficial injection will be 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine Periarticular Injection (PAI): PAI is a widely-utilized, surgeon-performed, analgesic intervention for TKA patients.

Timeframe: at post operative day (POD) 1

The PAIN OUT questionnaire has multiple numeric scale questions on pain relief as well as pain intensity, along with Yes/No questions. There are also questions asking which pain relief techniques were used (multiple choice). All questions are scored on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 meaning no pain/does not interfere/not at all and 10 meaning worst pain/completely interferes/extremely. A higher score means a worse outcome.
