Summary

Research study to determine the relationship between perineural catheter tip location relative to the sciatic nerve bifurcation and postoperative analgesia for continuous popliteal nerve blocks.

Conditions

  • Popliteal Nerve Block
  • Foot Surgery
  • Ankle Surgery
  • Popliteal Bifurcation

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Catheter Placed At Bifurcation

Patients randomized to this group will receive a sciatic nerve block placed at the bifurcaton of the sciatic nerve and outcome measures will be tested.

PROCEDURE

Catheter Placed 5cm Above Bifurcation

Patients randomized to this group will receive a sciatic nerve block placed 5cm above the bifurcaton of the sciatic nerve and outcome measures will be tested.
