Interventions
0.5 % hyperbaric Bupvicaine
Patients in Group A will receive unilateral spinal anaesthesia. The anesthesiologist will inject a small dose of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine through a pencil-point spinal needle, keep the limb to be operated on in the dependent position, and hold the lateral posture for about fifteen minutes so the block settles on one side. Patients in Group B will receive an ultrasound-guided popliteal sciatic nerve block together wi
15 ml of 0.5 bupvicaine
Group B will receive 15 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine for the popliteal sciatic nerve block and 10 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine for the adductor canal block (total 25 mL), keeping the total dose within 2 mg/kg
