Official Title: Comparison of Incidence of Femoral Neuropathy After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Femoral Nerve Block Versus Patient-controlled Analgesia (PCA)
Brief Summary: Femoral neuropathy after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with femoral nerve block may be as high as 24% at 6 postoperative weeks when evaluated prospectively and systematically through a clinical neurological and an electroneuromyography (ENMG). It is still unclear whether this neuropathy is the result of the surgery, especially the Tourniquet, or the block nerve. The goal of this study is to define the etiology of this postoperative neuropathy.
