Similar pain scores, lower morphine consumption within 4-hrs with ACB vs. FNB in ACL reoncstruction .
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.
Adductor Canal Block Versus Femoral Nerve Block for Pain Control After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Prospective Randomized Trial
Am J Sports Med. 2019 Feb;47(2):355-363. doi: 10.1177/036354651881587478 patients scheduled for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were randomized to postoperative analgesia with either an adductor canal block (ACB) or a femoral nerve block (FNB). The purpose of this study was to examine and compare analgesia outcomes and functional recovery outcomes between the two groups over the first 5 days postoperatively. Results demonstrated the only significant difference between groups was morphine consumption in the first 4 hours, which was lower in the ACB group. Otherwise, pain scores, ability to perform the straight leg raise test, and patient satisfaction did not significantly differ between groups, while no complications were recorded in either group.
