Trial Outcomes & Findings for Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Comparison of Three Catheter Placement Positions (NCT NCT00178178)

NCT ID: NCT00178178

Last Updated: 2015-09-11

Results Overview

Pain over the first three days post-operatively. This will be identified by the use of the Postoperative Patient Diary. This document records patient's subjective evaluations of pain, comfort, ability to sleep, activity administered daily on the day of surgery and each morning and each evening before the patient retires for 3 postoperative days. All pain medications taken during the 3 days of the postoperative evaluation will be recorded on the Postoperative Patient Diary.
