Case Reports[Analgesia for reconstruction of the cruciate ligaments of the knee].
In the present case a reconstruction of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament is planned. In general, major surgery of the knee as well as reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament is very painful. Continuous peripheral nerve blocks provide good analgesia and are superior to parenteral opioids concerning quality of analgesia and mobility and postoperative range of motion of the knee. Compared to the neuraxial catheters, cPNB have less side effects.
