April 8, 2015 updated by: arissara iamaroon, Mahidol University

Femoral Nerve Block Using 0.25% Versus 0.5% Bupivacaine for Analgesia After Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Femoral nerve block using 0.25% bupivacaine or 0.5% bupivacaine provides a longer time for analgesia after Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
