Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the intra-operative and post-operative effects of tourniquet use during ACL reconstruction. We hypothesize that:
1. Limited tourniquet use will not significantly impact arthroscopic visualization nor the time it takes to complete an ACL reconstruction.
2. Limited tourniquet use will lead to significantly less patient pain intra-operatively and in the immediate peri-operative period.
3. Patients who undergo an ACL reconstruction with limited tourniquet use will have earlier return of quadriceps functions as compared to those undergoing reconstruction with the use of a tourniquet.
Detailed Description:
Type of Study Double-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial
Group 1 (Control): Patients undergoing patellar bone-tendon-bone autograft ACL reconstruction with a tourniquet used for the duration of the case.
Group 2 (Treatment/Intervention, if applicable): Patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with a tourniquet used only during patellar bone-tendon-bone autograft harvest, for a maximum of 20 minutes.
