Abstract | Background: Perineural catheters placed parallel to the nerve course are reported to have lower migration rates than those placed perpendicular to it. However, catheter migration rates for a continuous adductor canal block (ACB) remain unknown. This study compared postoperative migration rates of proximal ACB catheters placed parallel and perpendicular to the saphenous nerve. Methods: Seventy participants scheduled for unilateral primary total knee arthroplasty were randomly assigned for parallel or perpendicular placement of the ACB catheter. The primary outcome was the migration rate of the ACB catheter on postoperative day (POD) 2. Catheter migration was defined as being unable to confirm saline administration via the catheter around the saphenous nerve at the mid-thigh level under ultrasound guidance. Secondary outcomes included active and passive range of motion (ROM) of the knee on postoperative rehabilitation. Results: Sixty-seven participants were included in the final analyses. The catheter migrated significantly less often in the parallel group (5 of 34 (14.7%)) than in the perpendicular group (24 of 33 (72.7%)) (p<0.001). The mean (SD) active and passive knee flexion ROM (degrees) improved significantly in the parallel than in the perpendicular group (POD 1: active, 88.4 (13.2) vs 80.0 (12.4), p=0.011; passive, 95.6 (12.8) vs 85.7 (13.6), p=0.004; POD 2: active, 88.7 (13.4) vs 82.2 (11.5), p=0.036; passive, 97.2 (12.8) vs 91.0 (12.0), p=0.045). Conclusion: Parallel placement of the ACB catheter provided a lower postoperative catheter migration rate than perpendicular placement of the ACB catheter along with corresponding improvements in ROM and secondary analgesic outcomes.
