Effect of IPACK-Adductor Canal Block Combination on Adolescent Pain Management After Hamstring Autograft Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Overall, the amount of MME used at this institution was relatively low; however, the use of IPACK + ACB did not decrease opioid usage or pain levels after ACLR as compared with LIA or ACB only for the adolescent population. Use of any regional block was not superior to LIA for MME or reported pain levels. Given that IPACK + ACB did not decrease MME, it is not recommended to add an IPACK block for ACLR in adolescent patients.
