Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A comparison of two anesthetic techniques-- the Adductor Canal Block (ACB) and the Adductor Canal Block with Infiltration of the interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (ACB/IPACK)-- in patients undergoing bone-tendon-bone (BTB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Adductor Canal Block (ACB)

The adductor canal block will be ultrasound-guided sonosite. The anesthesiologist will administer 15 cc bupivacaine 0.5% with 2 mg preservative-free dexamethasone with a 22 gauge (G)/4 inch Chiba needle to the mid-thigh of the surgical limb while subject lays in the supine position post IV sedation.

Bupivacaine

Intervention Type DRUG

Bupivacaine will help treat pain and sensation after ACL repair

Ultrasound

Intervention Type DEVICE

Ultrasound will guide anesthesiologist in performing the different nerve blocks

Dexamethasone

Intervention Type DRUG

Dexamethasone will be used to prolong block duration

Adductor Canal Block & IPACK (ACB/IPACK)

The adductor canal block will be ultrasound-guided. The anesthesiologist will administer 15 cc bupivacaine 0.5% with 2 mg preservative-free dexamethasone with a 22G/4 inch Chiba needle to the mid-thigh of the surgical limb while subject lays in the supine position post IV sedation.

The IPACK will be ultrasound-guided with c60 sonosite probe (5-2Hz). While laying in the prone or supine, frog-leg position the IPACK will be administered using a 22G/4inch Chiba needle. The anesthesiologist will identify the popliteal artery at the popliteal crease and move cephalad just beyond the femoral condyles at the confluence with the femur. Then the anesthesiologist will identify the space between the femur and the popliteal artery and moving from medial to lateral place the needle in between the popliteal artery and femur with the tip ending 2-3 cm lateral to the artery and inject 25 cc bupivacaine 0.25% with 2 mg preservative-free dexamethasone.
