Sponsor's own description

This research study is to determine the relative times for perineural catheter placement with the use of ultrasound versus electrical stimulation. The perineural catheter is placed next to the nerves through which local anesthetic is placed to provide pain control following surgery. This study may determine if one method is associated with increased success rate and patient comfort.
