Sponsor's own description
The aim of this study is to examine whether the administration of the TQL block cause motor block of the lumbar plexus and thereby quadriceps muscle weakness. The investigators hypothesise that the administration of a unilateral TQL block does not cause quadriceps muscle weakness compared to a placebo block.
