This research is being done to compare two different saphenous nerve block locations and
will help to determine which site best maintains knee strength and pain control.
will help to determine which site best maintains knee strength and pain control.
This is a prospective, randomized, observer blinded clinical trial comparing motor strength
in knee extension between two sets of patients, one receiving a proximal thigh block of the
saphenous nerve and one receiving a distal thigh block of the saphenous nerve. The secondary
objectives are to compare the pain relief and quality of life of participants in these two
groups.
