Following negative aspiration, SSACNB volume will be randomized and subjects will receive 5, 10 or 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine will be incrementally injected. Randomization of the volume of bupivacaine will be determined by opening a sequential, pre-sealed envelope with the group assignment designated within. All studied volumes are well within the acceptable range for SSACNB. Adductor Canal Block: Following negative aspiration, SSACNB volume will be randomized and subjects will receive 5, 10 or 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine will be incrementally injected.

Timeframe: 24 Hours Following Surgery

Population: Incomplete data responsible for discrepancies between number of subjects enrolled and data reported.

Patient pain will be assessed by having participants describe pain using Numerical Ranking Scale (NRS) with a total score of 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable. Location of pain will also be assessed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 Hours Following Surgery

Population: Incomplete data responsible for discrepancies between number of subjects enrolled and data reported.

Patient strength will be assessed by asking subjects to maximally adduct their leg or extend their knee for five seconds. Subjects will be asked to repeat this measurement three times at each measurement (pre-block, 15 minutes post-block, 24 hours post-block and 48 hours post-block). Strength measurements will be made with the Kiio strength monitoring device.
