Impact of leg movement on skin-adductor canal distance: a potential cause for catheter tip displacement?

CONCLUSION: Passive leg movements in five standardized positions increase the SAC distance. We speculate that the altered SAC distance associated with passive leg movement may contribute to catheter tip dislodgement and adductor canal block failure.
