BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is commonly associated with moderate-to-severe postoperative pain. Notably, various pain control strategies, a femoral nerve block (FNB) with a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block (LFCNB), adductor canal block (ACB) with LFCNB, or periarticular cocktail injection (PI), have been investigated. However, no studies compare the effects of FNB with LFCNB, ACB with LFCNB, and PI for pain control after ACL reconstruction. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of FNB with LFCNB, ACB with LFCNB, and PI for pain relief in the early postoperative period after ACL reconstruction...
