Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Use of Levobupivacaine for ultrasound guided Adductor canal block for early ambulation in patients undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction surgery  A linear ultrasound probe (sonosite) will be used for performing the block. For ACB, the ultrasound probe will be placed at the mid-thigh level halfway between the anterior superior iliac spine and patella. The femoral artery underneath the sartorius muscle will be identified. The saphenous nerve lies just lateral to the artery. A 21-G,5-cm needle will be introduced in plane and advanced into the adductor canal. On reaching the adductor canal, 2–3 ml of saline will be injected to ensure correct placement of needle, i.e., spread of saline in the vicinity of saphenous nerve. After confirmation, 20ml of group specific study drug will be injected in the adductor canal.The primary outcome of the study, i.e., early ambulation will be assessed by asking the patient to perform a Straight Leg Raise test (SLR) in supine position. The assessment will begin in the postoperative care unit (0h), every 2 hourly in initial 4 hours, then every 4 hourly for 20 hours.

Method of Generating Random Sequence   Stratified block randomization 
Method of Concealment   Sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes 
Blinding/Masking    
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Post-operative quadriceps muscle strength using SLR (straight leg raise) test.  Post operatively every 2 hourly till 4 hours and 4 hourly for the next 20 hours 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Time from end of surgery to first rescue analgesia requirement.  This will be measured from the time of administration of block to the first instance when VAS score will be equal or more than 4 during the 24 hour period while the the patients will be assessed at 2nd,4th,8th,12th,16th,20th,24th and in between if patient complains of pain.  
Total rescue Analgesia in 24 hours.  Injection tramadol will be administered intravenously when VAS score is equal or more than four. The total amount of tramadol consumed in 24 hours will be noted.

Brief Summary   This study is a randomized, parallel group, active controlled trial to compare Ropivacaine and Levobupivacaine in ultrasound-guided adductor canal block for early ambulation in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery that will be conducted in the, Department of Anaesthesiology ABVIMS and Dr.  Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi, India. The primary outcome will be postoperative quadriceps muscle strength using SLR (straight leg raising) test. The secondary outcome measures will be time from end of surgery to first rescue analgesia requirement; and total rescue Analgesia requirement in 24 hours.
