Measure
ACB Within True AC With Bupivacaine
The patients will receive an ultrasound-guided single injection adductor canal block with 20 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine ACB within true AC with bupivacaine 0.5% 20cc: The adductor canal block (ACB) is more commonly being used to provide post-operative analgesia since it provides a sensory block with minimal motor block.
ACB Proximal to True AC With Bupivacaine
The patients will receive an ultrasound-guided single injection femoral triangle block with 20 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine ACB proximal to true AC with bupivacaine 0.5% 20cc: Patients will receive ultra-sound guided single femoral triangle block injection with 20 mL of 0.5% bupivicaine
