Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative analgesic effect of femoral triangle block (FTB) and adductor canal block (ACB)after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
Detailed Description
The number of patients undergoing arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has risen over the past decade. ACL reconstruction is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain leading to hypertension, tachycardia, increased O2 demand, and myocardial stress.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Total morphine consumption
Time Frame: 24 hours postoperatively
Rescue analgesia of 3 mg morphine IV will be given if the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) \> 3 to be repeated after 30 min if pain persists until the NRS \< 4. NRS will be assessed at 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24h postoperatively
Secondary Outcomes
- Quadriceps strength(24 hours postoperatively)
- Time of 1st rescue analgesia(24 hours postoperatively)
- Pain score using Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)(24 hours postoperatively)
- Patient satisfaction(24 hours postoperatively)
