LAM Femoral Cutaneous Block for Skin Graft Pain

This study is looking at a new way to manage pain after skin grafting surgery, specifically from the area where skin is taken (donor site) on the thigh. This area can be very painful. The study is testing a nerve block called the LAM (Lateral, Anterior, Medial) Femoral Cutaneous Block. This block aims to reduce pain in the front and side of the thigh without affecting your ability to move your leg. Researchers want to see how consistently this block works and how much area it covers. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, having skin graft surgery where skin is taken from your thigh, and your care team thinks this block would be helpful for your pain. The study will measure the area of numbness after the block is given.
