For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| No Injection | These patients will receive standard of care when undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and will NOT be receiving a posterior capsular knee injection of Marcaine 0.5%. They will be monitored for pain control and pill intake while in the PACU and the first four days post-operatively the same as the patients in the INJECTION Arm of the study.

| Injection | These patients will receive standard of care when undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction but will additionally be receiving a one-time posterior capsular knee injection of Marcaine 0.5% (20cc) during the surgery. They will be monitored for pain control and pill intake while in the PACU and the first four days post-operatively the same as the patients in the NO injection Arm of the study. Marcaine: Pain control medication to theoretically reduce the amount of posterior knee pain that is common after ACL surgery by placing the injection into the posterior capsule of the knee during surgery. This is very easy and safe to accomplish as the surgeon will have direct visualization of the posterior capsule during the surgery.
