Optimal Location of Nerve Block to Minimize Perioperative Opioid Administration in ACL Surgery: Comparing True Adductor Canal to Proximal Block

NYU Langone Health·interventional·Posted Jan 17, 2018·Updated Jul 14, 2023

In Brief

A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating ACB within true AC with bupivacaine 0.5% 20cc and ACB proximal to true AC with bupivacaine 0.5% 20cc for ACL Surgery. Completed, enrolled 69 participants across 1 site.

Detailed 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

Interventions

ACB within true AC with bupivacaine 0.5% 20ccdrug

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.

ACB proximal to true AC with bupivacaine 0.5% 20ccdrug

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