Group Intervention Description Postoperative Popliteal nerve block Survey of outcomes following popliteal nerve block All patients in the cohort are receiving a postoperative popliteal nerve block as part of their surgical plan. Outcomes including length of stay, Visual Analog Scale Scores, narcotic intake, and patient satisfaction will be collected as the intervention.
