Preemptive Multimodal Intravenous Analgesia: Combination of opioids, NSAIDs, and adjunctive medications to manage postoperative pain before and during surgery.
Femoral Triangle Block: Local anesthetic injection around the femoral nerve to manage postoperative pain via regional anesthesia.
Study summary
This study aims to compare the effects of a preemptive multimodal intravenous analgesia protocol and a femoral triangle block on early postoperative rehabilitation compliance in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction under general anesthesia. Adult patients aged 18 to 65 will be randomized to receive either multimodal intravenous analgesia or femoral triangle block prior to surgery. Rehabilitation compliance will be evaluated using the straight leg raise test, sit-to-stand success, and pain scores at multiple postoperative time points. Secondary outcomes include opioid consumption, incidence of opioid-related side effects.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Compliance with Straight Leg Raise Test (SLR) — Postoperative 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours This outcome measure evaluates the patients' ability to perform the straight leg raise test (SLR) at various postoperative time points. The NRS (Numeric Rating Scale) score will be used to assess the pain during these activities. NRS (Numeric Rating Scale) for pain during the activity. Scale: 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Higher scores on the NRS indicate worse pain.
Standing Ability — Postoperative 2,6,12 and 24 hours This outcome measure evaluates the patients' ability to stand after surgery at various postoperative time points. The NRS (Numeric Rating Scale) score will be used to assess the pain during these activities. NRS (Numeric Rating Scale) for pain during the activity. Scale: 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Higher scores on the NRS indicate worse pain.
