Summary
The adductor canal block (ACB) is the standard of care for analgesia after Anterior Cruciate
Ligament (ACL) repair. ACB is performed by injecting local anesthetic (freezing) in the
subsartorial canal in the thigh which is about 7-10cm long. Preliminary evidence suggests
that different injection sites within the canal may produce different degrees of analgesia
and quadriceps motor block. This trial seeks to determine the effects of various ACB
injection sites on postoperative analgesia and motor power following ACL repair.
