Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pain score
By using face, legs, activity, and cry consolability scale [FLACC ] FLACC scale will be measured as following: Each category (face,legs,activity, and cry consolability) is scored on the 0-2 scale which results in a total score of 0-10. Assessment of the final score: 0 = Relaxed and comfortable 1-3 = Mild discomfort 4-6 = Moderate pain 7-10 = Severe discomfort/pain

Secondary Outcome Measures

pain scores
By using face, legs, activity, and cry consolability scale [FLACC ] FLACC scale will be measured as following: Each category (face,legs,activity, and cry consolability) is scored on the 0-2 scale which results in a total score of 0-10. Assessment of the final score: 0 = Relaxed and comfortable 1-3 = Mild discomfort 4-6 = Moderate pain 7-10 = Severe discomfort/pain
Block failure rate
The block will be considered a failed block if the patient required more than two doses of rescue analgesia in the first hour postoperatively
Block performance time
The incidence of adverse effects
Duration of the block
Degree of contralateral motor blockage and lower limb weakness
By using modified bromage scale as following: Grade I : Free movement of legs and feet Degree of block :Nil (0%) Grade II :Just able to flex knees with free movement of feet Degree of block :Partial (33%) Grade III :Unable to flex knees, but with free movement of feet Degree of block: Almost complete (66%) Grade IV :Unable to move legs or feet Degree of block: Complete (100%)
