Summary

This prospective, randomized, controlled, and multicenter clinical study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of two regional anesthesia techniques commonly used in knee arthroscopy: adductor canal block (ACB) and combined adductor canal block plus biceps femoris short head (ACB+BiFeS) block. The study will evaluate postoperative pain control, opioid consumption, adverse effects, hospital stay, and patient satisfaction. Findings will help determine the most effective and safe method for postoperative analgesia in knee arthroscopy patients.

Conditions

  • Postoperative Pain Management

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Adductor Canal Block (ACB) Only

Ultrasound-guided injection of 10 mL 0.25% bupivacaine into the adductor canal targeting the femoral artery region, providing motor-sparing analgesia to the medial/anterior knee.

PROCEDURE

biceps femoris short head block + Adductor Canal Block (ACB)

Combination of adductor canal block (10 mL 0.25% bupivacaine) and biceps femoris short head block with 25 mL 0.25% bupivacaine, deposited at the interfascial plane between BiFeS muscle and lateral femoral cortex to extend analgesia to the posterolateral knee.
