%X Peripheral nerve blockade (PNB) can be a useful component of a multimodal analgesia strategy for managing pain after knee arthroscopy and supports goals of improved opioid stewardship given the national crisis. However, the impact of PNB on short-term recovery in pediatric patients undergoing knee arthroscopy for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and meniscus surgery (repair or resection) has not been well characterized. This prospective study presents patient outcomes following discharge home in pediatric patients undergoing arthroscopic ACL and/or meniscus procedures managed with PNB
