Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Lumbar Plexus Block

lumbar plexus block followed by a general anesthetic. The lumbar plexus block will be performed by an attending anesthesiologist using ultrasound guidance (for measuring the depth of the psoas compartment) and nerve stimulation. A standardized block solution of 30 mL 0.5% ropivacaine will be injected in fractionated doses when a quadriceps muscle twitch is present to nerve stimulation at \<0.50 mA. Fifteen minutes after block completion, the block's effectiveness will be evaluated with an ice test.
