Interventions/Control_1

After induction of general anesthesia, ultrasound-guided adductor canal block (ACB) and popliteal plexus block (PPB) will be performed using 10 mL of 0.25% levobupivacaine for each block (total 20 mL, 50 mg) without adjuvants. Acetaminophen will be administered every 6 hours postoperatively. Rescue analgesia will consist of NSAID administration, followed by intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IVPCA) if required.
