No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pain after forefoot surgery can be important and regional anesthesia plays a crucial role in post-operative pain control. Several techniques can be used to achieve surgical anesthesia as well as postoperative analgesia. Of those techniques the ankle block and sciatic nerve block at the popliteal fossa are the most common. The primary goal of this study is thus to compare the analgesic duration of these two types of blocks for patients undergoing forefoot surgery.
