Peripheral Nerve Block (Femoral - Sciatic - Obturator) Versus General Anesthesia for Arthroscopic ACL Repair

Comparison of Femoral - Sciatic - Obturator Nerve Block vs General Anesthesia in Combination With Continuous or Bolus Femoral Nerve Block for Arthroscopic ACL Repair Regarding the Time of Patient Mobilasation

Arthroscopic ACL repair can be performed under different types of anesthesia. In the last few years peripheral nerve blocks have increased their popularity for this kind of operation. The investigators want to see how the type of anesthesia and postoperative analgesia effects the time required for patient mobilisation.
