Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate and describe the anatomical differences in
distribution of the blocked area following a perineural LFCN (Lateral Femoris Cutaneous
Nerve) block with either 8 ml or 16 ml of Ropivacaine, in relation to incision lines used in
THA (Total Hip Arthroplasty). Furthermore, we examine any loss of motor function in Musculus
Quadriceps due to posible involvement of the Femoral Nerve. This trial will be conducted in
healthy volunteers, as a blinded, randomized, paired trial.
