Pain Management of ACL Reconstruction

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture

In brief

This study will compare the outcome of pain interventions that are considered standard of care during the surgical treatment of ACL injuries. The comparison will be looking at pain control during and after ACL surgery as well as functional outcomes in patients that had a nerve block versus those who did not. The investigators hypothesize that pain control will be equal between both groups.
