Study Summary

Despite the apparent multifaceted benefit in differentiating blockade sites and duration of nerve blockade, the efficacy of continuous adductor canal blockade utilized specifically in ACL reconstruction has not been extensively studied. This study will test the hypothesis that the use of the adductor canal continuous nerve catheter will result in lower subjective pain scores on postoperative day 2 and improved quadriceps strength on postoperative day 1.

Primary Outcome

Subjective subjective postoperative pain scores at POD 2 of preoperative femoral nerve block plus postoperative continuous adductor canal nerve catheter compared to preoperative femoral nerve block plus postoperative saphenous nerve block at 48 hours after discharge from PACU using Subjective Numeric Pain Scale score (on an 11 point scale when 0 is no pain and 10 is worst pain).

Interventions

  • DRUG Mepivacaine
  • PROCEDURE adductor canal continuous nerve catheter
  • DRUG Normal Saline as bolus followed by bupivacaine
  • PROCEDURE adductor canal nerve block
  • DRUG ropivacaine and dexamethasone
