Analgesic effect of continuous adductor canal block versus continuous femoral nerve block for knee arthroscopic surgery: a randomized trial
Braz J Anesthesiol. 2022 Sep-Oct;72(5):553-559.Sixty patients undergoing an arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction were randomized to receive a continuous adductor canal block (n=30) or a continuous femoral nerve block (n=30).
