About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for ACL Injury focused on measuring acl injury, acl repair

Eligibility Criteria

12 Years - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 12 years and older
  • Patients who are scheduled to undergo an ACL reconstruction with quadriceps or BTB graft.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any contraindication to receiving regional anesthesia. This may include infection at the site of injection, allergy to local anesthetic, or pre-existing nerve injury.
  • Patients undergoing hamstring graft or allograft for ACL
  • Pre-existing infection at the site of injury
  • Patients on chronic opioid treatments
  • Pre-existing sensory or motor deficit in operative extremity
  • Patients having a revision of previous ACL reconstruction
  • Pregnant and/or lactating women
  • Weighs less than 40kg

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Adductor Canal Block (ACB) Only

ACB + iPACK

Arm Description

Participants randomized to the ACB only group will receive an adductor canal block alone.

Participants randomized to the ACB + iPACK group will receive both the ACB and iPACK block.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pain Scores
The primary endpoint will measure subjective pain scores using a Visual Analog Scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 100 (severe intolerable pain) at 12-hour intervals during the first 72 hours of the postoperative window. A higher score means worse outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures

total postoperative opioid consumption (total MME)
The secondary endpoints will measure total perioperative opioid consumption through postoperative day 2
Range of Motion (degrees)
An additional secondary endpoint is the range of motion, measured in degrees, of the operative knee at post-op visit 1 and 2. The post-op measurements will be compared to the pre-operative measurements.
Terminal knee extension (degrees)
The third secondary endpoint is the terminal knee extension, measured in degrees, of the operative knee at post-op visit 1 and 2. The post-op measurements will be compared to the pre-operative measurements.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will consist of patients 12 years and older undergoing ACL reconstruction using a quadriceps or bone-patella tendon bone (BTB) graft. The patients will be randomized to adductor canal block alone, or adductor canal block + iPACK block. The primary goal will be to determine the differences in postoperative pain during the first 72 hours when comparing the two groups. Secondary outcomes will include opioid utilization during the first 72 hours postoperatively and range of motion including terminal knee extension at postoperative follow-up visits.
