Comparison of migration rates between traditional and tunneled adductor canal block catheters: a randomized controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
ISAFE group had a significantly lower rate of dislodgement at 24 hours.

- Primary endpoint
- Catheter dislodged to outside the adductor canal on ultrasound
- Follow-up
- 24 hours after surgery
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
P = 0.01
Secondary outcomes
