Abstract

The median effective analgesic concentration (MEAC; EC50 = effective concentration in 50% patients) of ropivacaine in sciatic nerve block guided by ultrasound (US) required for effective postoperative analgesia following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has not yet been found. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of MEAC of 20 ml ropivacaine of postoperative anesthesia for patients after ACL reconstruction.
