Summary

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.

Detailed description

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.

Conditions

• Foot Injury
• Ankle Injury

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Saphenous Nerve Block	A nerve block will be performed by the anesthesiologist. The location of the nerve block will be per randomization envelope (proximal vs. distal) and performed just prior to foot or ankle surgical procedures that require a saphenous nerve block
