Summary

Saphenous nerve blocks can be technically challenging. Recently described ultrasound techniques have improved the success rate of saphenous nerve blocks, but randomized controlled trials comparing these techniques are lacking. The investigators compared two common ultrasound guided approach for saphenous nerve block: saphenous nerve block at the adductor canal (ACSNB) vs. block by the distal trans-sartorial (DTSNB) approach.
