This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2017;5(1):7 Arthroscopy. 2016 Sep;32(9):1838-4584 patients scheduled for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction were randomized to multimodal postoperative analgesia including infiltration analgesia with liposomal bupivacaine or a femoral nerve block. The purpose of this study was to determine if liposomal bupivacaine infiltration offered noninferior analgesic efficacy compared to a femoral nerve block, assessed over the first 4 days postoperatively. In the period of 5-8 hours after surgery, pain scores were significantly higher among those treated with liposomal bupivacaine infiltration compared to those who received a femoral nerve block; otherwise, pain scores and analgesic consumption did not significantly differ between groups.
