Brief summary: The effectiveness of genicular block in postoperative analgesia management in arthroscopy cases are intended to be evaluated.

Detailed description: Relieving postoperative arthroscopy pain requires multimodal approaches of pain The most common treatment options are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids and local infiltration of anesthetics is used. Due to the side effects of NSAIDs and opioids application of regional analgesia techniques, while providing better analgesia quality.

It can reduce complications . Peripheral blocks such as genicular block, reduce side effects by reducing the use of other analgesics . Pain, it is considered one of the most important factors affecting the quality of recovery.
