Study Summary

Both single shot femoral nerve block and continuous femoral nerve block with catheter have been shown to be effective for pain control after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Continuous femoral nerve block may be the more effective of the two in reducing pain scores and opioid consumption for the first 48 hours postoperatively.

Primary Outcome

Pain scores will be collected for 48 hours after ACL reconstruction with a patellar tendon graft or allograft and used to measure the effectiveness of the femoral catheter vs. single shot femoral nerve block
