Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using a hamstring donor-site block in controlling postoperative pain levels after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with autogenous hamstring graft. Over a 5-month period, 27 patients underwent ACL reconstruction with hamstring autograft. All patients received a preoperative femoral nerve block. Intraoperatively, these patients were randomly assigned to groups with and without a hamstring donor-site block. The block group received a 20-mL injection of 0.25% bupivacaine into the hamstring donor site through an arthroscopic shaver sleeve. Both groups received standard postoperative pain medications as needed. Postoperative pain scores were taken by use of a visual analog scale (VAS) and recorded immediately on arrival to the recovery room, at 1 hour after arrival, and at 2 hours after arrival. There were 15 patients in the hamstring donor-site block group and 12 patients in the standard treatment group. For the block group, mean VAS scores were 3.20 +/- 2.54 on arrival, 2.80 +/- 1.61 at 1 hour, and 2.87 +/- 1.41 at 2 hours. For the standard treatment group, mean VAS scores were 5.50 +/- 1.62 on arrival, 6.08 +/- 1.56 at 1 hour, and 5.33 +/- 2.02 at 2 hou...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
