Summary

This study aims to describe and to evaluate the effectiveness (success rate) of a supine ultrasound (US) guided single-puncture sciatic, obturator and femoral neve block technique (SOFT block) in knee surgery.

Conditions

  • Arthroscopic Knee Ligament Reconstruction

Interventions

PROCEDURE

new technique for lower limb nerve blocks using a single skin puncture (SOFT block)

The patients will be in supine position. The block needle will be inserted at the inguinal crease (medial to the femoral vein) and advanced towards the femoral nerve, then redirected towards the obturator nerve (deep to the pectineus muscle). Lastly, it will be redirected posteriorly towards the sciatic nerve (deep to the quadratus femoris muscle). A ropivacaine-lidocaine-epinephrine mixture will be used to block these nerves. The block success rate (painless surgery), performance time and patient discomfort will be recorded.
