Summary

This is a prospective, randomized, single blinded trial involving human subjects. The goal of this study is to determine an optimal location (proximal or distal) for the nerve block and whether it will make a difference in how much opioid the patient will receive during and after surgery. Ultrasound will identify the adductor canal and the proximal end of the adductor canal/apex of the femoral triangle to determine the location of the blocks.

Their will be two randomized groups: 1. ACB within true AC with bupivacaine 0.5% 20cc2. ACB proximal to true AC with bupivacaine 0.5% 20cc

Conditions

  • ACL Surgery

Interventions

DRUG

ACB within true AC with bupivacaine 0.5% 20cc

The adductor canal block (ACB) is more commonly being used to provide post-operative analgesia since it provides a sensory block with minimal motor block.

DRUG

ACB proximal to true AC with bupivacaine 0.5% 20cc

Patients will receive ultra-sound guided single femoral triangle block injection with 20 mL of 0.5% bupivicaine
