Study Summary

The study will investigate the difference in success rate between popliteal peripheral nerve catheters placed at 1 centimeter compared to 5 centimeters past the tip of a Tuohy needle.

Primary Outcome

The extent of popliteal nerve blockade will be captured with four sensory groups (sural, superficial peroneal, tibial, and deep peroneal) and three motor groups (superficial peroneal, tibial, and deep peroneal). For each group, a score of 0, 1, or 2 will be assigned based on complete, partial, or no blockade, respectively. The peripheral block score (PBS) outcome variable will be based on the sum of these values and will range from 0 to 14.
