Medial Forefoot Block for Analgesia After Foot Surgery

NCT01445249 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 72

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Forefoot surgery includes bunion surgery and similar reconstructive bone cutting surgery and is very painful. Local anaesthetic nerve blocks are used to provide pain relief after this work. The purpose of this study is to compare two techniques: one using anatomical landmarks alone to guide local anaesthetic infiltration, the other using peripheral nerve stimulation to guide local anaesthetic infiltration (termed medial forefoot block). The two techniques will be compared for reliability of postoperative analgesia.

Conditions

  • Hallux Valgus

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Landmark guided ankle block.

25-30mls 0.5% levobupivacaine will be infiltrated to provide a landmark guided ankle block.

PROCEDURE

PNS guided block.

This group will have 25-30mls of 0.5% levobupivacaine infiltrated as directed by peripheral nerve stimulation.
