About

The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative analgesic effect of femoral triangle block (FTB) and adductor canal block (ACB)after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Full description

The number of patients undergoing arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has risen over the past decade. ACL reconstruction is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain leading to hypertension, tachycardia, increased O2 demand, and myocardial stress.
