Summary

A randomised trial comparing three analgesic strategies for patients undergoing forefoot surgery in a day-surgery setting.

Conditions

  • Hallux Valgus
  • Conduction Block

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ankle block

Ultrasound guided ankle block of the tibial, superficial peroneal and deep peroneal nerves will be performed using a standardised technique

PROCEDURE

Sham ankle block

In the supine position with the hip and knee flexed, and the hip externally rotated, the skin from medial malleolus to Achilles tendon will be prepared with chlorhexidine 0.5% solution and allowed to dry. An ultrasound probe (linear array HFL25, Sonosite, Hitchin, UK) will be placed on a line from medial malleolus to achilles tendon to identify the posterior tibial artery and tibial nerve. A Stimuplex A50 needle (B-Braun) will be placed against the skin at the point at which the practitioner would normally have performed insertion of the needle. It will remain there for a total of 30 seconds and then will be removed.

PROCEDURE

Metatarsal block

A metatarsal block will be performed using a standardised technique

PROCEDURE

Sham metatarsal block

In the supine position, after the surgical incision has been sutured, a 25G standard bevel needle will be placed against the skin at the points at which the practitioner would normally have performed insertions of the needle. It will remain there for a total of 30 seconds and then be removed.
