Popis: Background Periarticular multimodal drug injection (PMDI) is a safe and effective pain management technique after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR); however, adding morphine and epinephrine sometimes causes adverse effects. Therefore, we evaluated the efficacy of PMDI without morphine and epinephrine after ACLR. Methods This retrospective matched case-control study included patients who had undergone primary double-bundle ACLR with PMDI and were then matched one-to-one with a control group without PMDI based on sex, age, and body mass index using propensity-matched analysis. The following clinical outcomes were compared between the groups: visual analog scale (VAS) score, C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration, number of times the patients used additional analgesics, complication rate, and postoperative time to achieve straight leg raise (SLR). Results Twenty-nine patients with PMDI and 29 controls were enrolled. The VAS score at 1 day postoperatively was lower in the PMDI than the control group (1.93 ± 1.44 vs. 3.41 ± 1.75, respectively; P
