Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Group AExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Group A patients will receive their treatment at the completion of the case while under general anesthesia. The anesthesia provider will identify the adductor canal using ultrasound guidance and inject 15ccs of 0.5% marcaine with epinephrine around the saphenous nerve. Group A patients will receive placebo intra-articular and arthroscopic portal site saline injections equal in volume and procedure time point as the treatment in Group B. At the completion of the case, the patient will be extubated and transferred to the PACU.

Group II: Group BActive Control1 Intervention

Group B will receive 20ccs of 2% lidocaine with epinephrine as an intra-articular injection. At the completion of the arthroscopic procedure the patient will receive an additional 20ccs of 0.5% marcaine with epinephrine intra-articular injection. Group B patients will also receive 10ccs of 2% lidocaine with epinephrine injected superficially into each of the arthroscopic portal sites. Group B patients will receive a 15cc saline injection around the saphenous nerve under the same procedure as the adductor canal block for Group A. At the completion of the case, the patient will be extubated and transferred to the PACU.
