Summary

This study tests whether adding a nerve block to the vastus medialis muscle improves pain control after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Participants receive either a standard adductor canal block alone or combined with the extra nerve block before surgery. Pain levels, opioid use, and recovery times are compared over the first 24 hours. The goal is to see if the combination provides better pain relief without delaying movement.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a better way to manage pain after ACL surgery, potentially reducing opioid use and speeding up recovery.

This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply to all patients. Adding an extra nerve block carries a small risk of complications like nerve injury or infection.
