Adductor Canal Localization in Living and Cadaver

Sponsor: Ankara Etlik City Hospital

Summary

The aim of this study is to define the starting and ending points of the adductor canal in adductor canal block (ACB) applications through distance measurements relative to the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the adductor tubercle. These measurements are performed using ultrasound (USG) and correlated with cadaveric data. Key research questions addressed include: * Can the start and end points of the adductor canal be formulated along a line drawn between the ASIS and the adductor tubercle? * Is there a definable relationship between the block application site and anatomical landmarks such as the vastoadductor membrane (VAM), the apex of the femoral triangle, and other adjacent structures that facilitates localization? By validating ultrasound measurements with cadaveric findings, the study aims to provide researchers with a more predictable and reliable method for determining the optimal site for adductor canal block administration.
