Summary
This study tested whether adding genicular nerve blocks to standard pain blocks could reduce opioid use and pain after ACL knee surgery. 192 adults having outpatient ACL repair were randomly assigned to get the extra blocks or standard care. The goal was to see if the new approach lowers opioid consumption, pain scores, and helps patients go home sooner.
