Femoral Nerve Block Versus Adductor Canal Nerve Block for Peri-Operative Analgesia Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction: Evaluation of Post-operative Pain and Strength
Sponsor: Henry Ford Health System
Summary
All patients over the age of 16 undergoing primary or revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with the use of bone-patellar-bone autograft are eligible for the study. Patients will be randomized pre-operatively to receive either an adductor canal nerve block (single injection) or a femoral nerve block (single injection). Post-operatively, the primary outcome measures of pain level using visual analog scale as well as narcotic and non-narcotic analgesic requirements will be measured.

Marcaine 0.25 % Injectable Solution
For the adductor canal block, 20 mL of 0.25% marcaine will be injected with the use of ultrasound guidance into the adductor canal by the attending anesthesiologist on the case in the pre-op holding area.
Marcaine 0.25 % Injectable Solution
For the femoral nerve block, 30 mL of 0.25% marcaine will be injected with the use of ultrasound guidance around the femoral nerve sheath by the attending anesthesiologist on the case in the pre-op holding area.
