Defining the Optimal Location to Place an Adductor Canal Block

Summary

The aim of the current project is to address a gap in the existing literature related to optimal placement of local anesthetic for an adductor canal (AC) block. The current study seeks to examine whether placement of the local anesthetic in the AC for knee surgery is more effective at reducing post-operative pain following arthroscopic knee surgery compared to a control. Specifically, if the anesthetic is more beneficial than the control group, the research will determine which location is optimal by comparing groups that receive anesthetic in the midpoint of the thigh, the proximal end of the thigh, or the distal end of the thigh.

Conditions

  • Knee Arthropathy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Placement of an adductor canal nerve block

An adductor canal nerve block will be placed in a patient undergoing a knee arthroscopy in 1 of 3 locations with local anesthetic or placebo (without location definition or local anesthetic) to assess optimal placement of local anesthetic, pain management and anxiety scores post operatively.
