Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyPosterior psoas vs 3-in-1 approach for lateral femoral cutaneous and obturator nerve block for anterior cruciate ligament repair.
The aim of this article was to test the hypothesis that the posterior psoas compartment approach to the lumbar plexus help to achieve better blockade of the lateral femoral cutaneous and obturator nerves than the classic anterior 3-in-1 femoral nerve block. ⋯ The posterior psoas compartment approach provides a more reliable block of the lateral femoral cutaneous and obturator nerves than the anterior 3-in-1 approach.
