Postoperative analgesia and early functional recovery after day-case anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A randomized trial on local anesthetic delivery methods for continuous infusion adductor canal block.

CONCLUSIONS: Intermittent boluses did not provide superior analgesia over continuous infusion for adductor canal block after outpatient ACLR, but significantly decreased the local anaesthetic consumption. Both techniques are suitable for the early functional recovery. PMID: 30945515 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
