No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To determine the relationship between perineural catheter location along the sciatic nerve (popliteal versus subgluteal placement) and infusion effects for ultrasound-guided continuous sciatic nerve blocks.

Conditions

  • Foot Surgery

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Subgluteal Sciatic Nerve Block

Patients randomized to this group will receive a sciatic nerve block with the catheter tip insertion at the subgluteal location 1-3 cm caudad to the inferior border of the gluteus maximus muscle. After catheter placement, outcome measures will be assessed.

PROCEDURE

Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block

Patients randomized to this group will receive a sciatic nerve block with the catheter tip insertion at the popliteal location 1-3 cm cephalad to the sciatic bifurcation. After Catheter placement outcome measures will be assessed.
