Abstract
Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a common procedure that requires effective postoperative pain management for successful rehabilitation. Opioids are traditionally used for pain relief, but their side effects decrease their widespread use. Local anesthesia techniques have gained interest as an alternative to opioids. This Technical Note discusses the use of an anesthetic cocktail for pain relief at the hamstring's donor site in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This approach may enhance early rehabilitation and patient satisfaction.
