Summary
This is a prospective study comparing femoral nerve block plus sciatic nerve block to femoral
nerve block plus infiltration of the posterior knee capsule (IPACK) in patients undergoing
arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Femoral nerve block via the adductor
canal (FNB-AC) with IPACK may provide effective analgesia while avoiding the motor block
involved with sciatic nerve block. The lack of motor block is important to facilitate
postoperative ambulation and physical therapy.
