Brief Summary

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

A randomized, single-blind, single-center study measuring the effects of adductor canal block combined with IPACK infiltration compared to adductor canal block alone on post-operative pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with Bone Patellar Tendon Bone Autograft

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The protocol will determine if the addition of an IPACK block to the standard adductor canal block is superior to an isolated adductor canal block in controlling post-operative pain and decreasing postoperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing ACLR with Bone Patellar Tendon Bone Autograft

Study Groups

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

Participants receiving IPACK block

Patients in this study group will receive the standard of care adductor canal block composed of 15 mL of Bupivacaine (0.25%). And receive the additional IPACK block performed using 20 mL of Bupivacaine (0.25%) injected into the interspace between the popliteal artery and capsule of the knee.
