Summary

This study aims to pinpoint the exact location of the adductor canal, a small tunnel in the thigh that contains nerves important for knee surgery pain relief. Researchers will use ultrasound measurements on 200 adults and compare them with dissections of donated bodies. The goal is to create a simple formula based on bony landmarks so doctors can consistently find the best spot for a nerve block.
