Table 2 Quadriceps strength evaluation*.
| Group | Quadriceps strength | |
|---|---|---|
| 30 min after ACB | In PACU | |
| R | 5 (5-5) | 5 (5-5) |
| RD | 5 (5-5) | 5 (5-5) |
| ACB – adductor canal block; PACU – Postanesthesia Care Unit; R – ropivacaine only; RD – ropivacaine plus dexmedetomidine. * Data are expressed as median (interquartile range). | ||
