Brandon Winchester demonstrates a modified adductor canal catheter technique for ACL reconstruction featuring an oblique needle angle from proximal to distal thigh. This modification allows the placement of the catheter preoperatively, and facilitates the threading of the catheter several centimeters down the adductor canal parallel to the saphenous nerve.
Greg Hickman, medical and anesthesia director at the Andrews Institute, performs an adductor canal catheter for postop pain control after ACL reconstruction. He demonstrates his current technique utilizing an oblique needle angle to facilitate threading the catheter proximally up the adductor can...
