The hypothesis is to demonstrate the analgesic non-inferiority of the ultrasound-guided geniculate nerve block when compared to the local infiltration analgesia (LIA). It is expected to maintain the quality of analgesia with a selective blockade of the nerves responsible for the sensitive innervation of the knee, reducing the total dose of local anesthetic and adrenaline very markedly.
