Study type | Interventional |
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is surgery that is done to repair a damaged ligament in the knee. In this study we will look at whether the femoral nerve block, a commonly used method for pain relief after ACL reconstruction, affects the way patients feel after surgery. We will study recovery during the first week after surgery and also 3-12 weeks after surgery. We will give all patients spinal anesthesia. Some patients will also receive a continuous femoral nerve block for 2 days, or by a single injection. We predict that patients who received the nerve block will have significantly improved pain results, compared to patients who did not receive the nerve block.
