Femoral Nerve Catheters Are Associated with Limb Strength Asymmetry at 6 Months After Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Pediatric Patients.

CONCLUSION: Though time to return to sport did not differ, patients in the femoral nerve catheter group exhibited greater single-leg squat asymmetry than did those in the femoral nerve blockade group approximately6 months postoperatively. Persistent functional deficits may be important to consider when treating pediatricpatients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. PMID: 32735731 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
