US-guided Genicular Nerves Block for Pain Control After Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair: A Prospective, Double Blinded, Randomized Controlled Study

Most of arthroscopic ACL repairs are day case surgeries associated with moderate postoperative pain and discomfort. So , finding an effective and safe, analgesic technique with minimal complications is our goal for fast recovery and short hospital stay.

in this study, we aim to compare the efficacy of genicular nerve block against controls on postoperative pain scores, the need for rescue analgesics, patient's satisfaction and range of motion (ROM) after arthroscopic ACL cases.
