Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of intra-articular low-dose sufentanil, ropivacaine, and combined sufentanil and ropivacaine on post-operative analgesia of isolated anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
To evaluate the effect of combined local anaesthetic and opioid in post-operative analgesia, the effect of intra-articular injection of local anaesthetic (ropivacaine), opioid (sufentanil) and combination of these two (ropivacaine combined with sufentanil) after the single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were compared. ⋯ Randomized controlled trial, Level I.

Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of magnesium added to levobupivacaine for femoral nerve block on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction.
The aim of this prospective randomised double-blind study is to investigate the effect of magnesium added to local anaesthetics on postoperative VAS scores, total opioid consumption, time to first mobilisation, patient satisfaction and rescue analgesic requirements in arthroscopic ACL reconstruction surgery. ⋯ The addition of magnesium to levobupivacaine prolongs the sensory and motor block duration without increasing side effects, enhances the quality of postoperative analgesia and increases patient satisfaction; however, the addition of magnesium delays the time to first mobilisation and decreases rescue analgesic requirements.
