Adolescent Anesthesia, Local Anterior Cruciate Ligament Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Femoral Nerve Humans Nerve Block Pain, Postoperative Popliteal Artery adolescent adverse event anterior cruciate ligament anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction case report devices femoral nerve human local anesthesia nerve block popliteal artery postoperative pain procedures surgery
Infiltration between popliteal artery and capsule of the knee (IPACK) is a novel technique that can provide additional analgesic relief, although there are no studies to date in the adolescent population. In 3 adolescent patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament surgery, IPACK block augmented continuous femoral nerve block by providing posterior knee analgesia with no or only minimal opioid needs in the post-anesthesia care unit and did not produce sciatic motor weakness.
