Summary
Both single shot femoral nerve block and continuous femoral nerve block with catheter have
been shown to be effective for pain control after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
(ACLR). Continuous femoral nerve block may be the more effective of the two in reducing pain
scores and opioid consumption for the first 48 hours postoperatively.
