ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a method called a femoral nerve block, which is a way to manage pain during surgery for a condition known as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. The researchers want to see how well this technique works when combined with general anesthesia during arthroscopic surgery, a minimally invasive surgery that allows doctors to repair the ACL. The goal is to find out if this approach can improve pain management and recovery for patients.

To participate in this trial, individuals need to be scheduled for ACL reconstruction surgery and must provide informed consent, meaning they understand the study and agree to take part. However, not everyone will be eligible. For example, those who need additional surgeries for other knee injuries or who have had previous knee surgeries will not be included. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but once it starts, those who join will receive detailed information about what to expect during the study and how their pain will be managed after surgery. This research is important as it could lead to better pain relief options for future patients undergoing similar procedures.
