Exclusion Criteria:
Procedure: SSFTB
Patients who underwent major knee surgery and had already planned to perform subsartorial femoral triangle block (SSFTB) were included in the study. They were measured the outcomes the night before surgery. The saphenous nerve and nerve to vastus medialis were blocked at the subsartorial femoral triangle level by experienced anesthesiologists. After standard monitor, the distal femoral triangle was identified 2 cm proximal to the opening of adductor canal by ultrasound guidance. At this level, The location of nerve to vastus medialis was confirmed by nerve stimulator and it was blocked with 0.5% levobupivacaine 5 ml. Then, 0.5% levobupivacaine 10 ml would be injected perifemoral artery. The outcomes were re-assessed 30 min after block.
Also known as: nerve to vastus medialis and saphenous nerve block
quadriceps strength
Quadriceps strength will be assessed as MVIC with handheld dynamometer (HHD, Lafayette Instrument, Lafayette, IN).
Time frame: 30 minutes after SSFTB
motor power of knee extension
The muscle power will be graded compared to another leg: 0 = No motor block, 1 = partial motor block, 2 = complete motor block.
Time frame: 30 minutes after SSFTB
perception of fall 30 minutes
If the patient can be able to stand independently for at least 30 seconds without support, he or she will be asked to do functional reach test, which the patient should reach forward by staying put feet. The difference of starting and ending point of the reaching hand will be measured. If the patient cannot stand independently for at least 30 seconds without support or do functional reach test less than 25 cm indicates that he or she has a higher risk for falls.
Time frame: 30 minutes after SSFTB
