The Adductor canal is bounded anterolaterally by vastus medialis, anteromedially by sartorius and The adductor canal block (ACB) is an interfascial plane block performed in the thigh. Moreover, claims that this block can provide comparable regional anesthesia to the femoral block for surgical procedures of the knee, yet As a purely sensory nerve the saphenous nerve innervates the medial side of the lower leg and foot; albeit with significant inter-patient variability. Ultrasound Anatomy Muscles surrounding the triangular adductor canal include the vastus medialis laterally, adductor longus, or magnus medially, with the sartorius resembling a trapezoid “boat-shaped” muscle forming the roof of the adductor canal Abstract. (Reg Anesth Pain Med ; –) The exact location of the adductor canal (AC) in the thigh is a matter of debate among The adductor canal block involves injection of local anaesthetic into the adductor canal deep to the sartorius muscle and is a technically easy and reliable method for blocking Adductor Canal Block usually requires a maximum ofml of local anaesthetics. The most common and effective approach involves blocking the The Adductor Canal The position of the saphenous nerve in the adductor canal has been well described, originally by Mansour7 and later revisited by Hornet alGray et al who at this level is in fact a femoral triangle block. It anesthetizes multiple distal branches of the femoral nerve including the saphenous nerve and branches of the mixed sensory and motor nerves to the quadricep, and potentially branches of the obturator nerve. The adductor canal block involves injection of local anaesthetic into the adductor canal deep to the sartorius muscle and is a technically easy and reliable method for blocking the saphenous nerve1 Given the site of exit of both nerves in the distal third of the adductor canal, themidportion oftheadductor ca-nal is suggested as an optimal Use of PNS will not only widen the acceptance of this block but also improve the success rate of analgesia for surgeries around the knee. Fig In-plane approach for saphenous nerve block at the level of the adductor canalThe femoral nerve passes through the femoral canal to lie beneath the sartorius muscle, entering an aponeurotic intermuscular tunnel in the middle third of the medial side of the thigh called the Subsartorial canal, Adductor canal or Hunter’s canal. Recent studies have tant targets of adductor canal block. ACB is used for anesthesia and/or analgesia for The adductor canal block (ACB), or more precisely the saphenous nerve block in the adductor canal, is a regional technique that capitalizes on the anatomic relationship of branches of the femoral nerve as they course through the adductor canal in order to achieve anesthesia and analgesia for lower extremity surgery The adductor canal block is an effective and relatively easy block to perform [3•, 6]. The adductor canal block (ACB), or more precisely the saphenous nerve block in the adductor canal, is a regional technique that capitalizes on the anatomic relationship of Tags approaches to block this nerve above the knee include perifemoral, subsartorial, and transsartorial [1–4]. The adductor canal block (ACB), or more precisely the saphenous nerve block in the adductor canal, is a single-shot or continuous technique for anesthesia and analgesia of the knee and medial leg. Adductor canal block (ACB) till now has been administered mostly by anesthesiologists who have access to ultrasound machines. Onset should be withinminutes with half concentration of the maximum strength of local Background and objectives Quadriceps sparing adductor canal block has emerged as a viable intervention to manage pain after total knee arthroplasty. It can be done blindly but the success rate is poor and variable. In this article, we describe From here, the ultrasound probe is brought 2–3 cm proximally, to the distal adductor canal, and the saphenous nerve is blocked at this level (Fig).
