Summary

This study is designed as a randomized controlled trial aiming to evaluate the feasibility and safety of ultrasound-guided mid-femoral lateral approach sciatic nerve paraneural sheath block, in order to provide a new sciatic nerve block approach for clinical practice that offers greater patient comfort and higher precision, thereby facilitating its use for specific patient populations and less experienced operators.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-guided lateral mid-femoral sciatic nerve block

Ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve subparaneural sheath block via the lateral mid-femoral approach. Under combined ultrasound and nerve stimulator guidance, a single injection of 20 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine hydrochloride will be administered into the paraneural sheath at the mid-femoral level

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-guided popliteal sciatic nerve block

Ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve subparaneural sheath block via the conventional popliteal approach. Under combined ultrasound and nerve stimulator guidance, a single injection of 20 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine hydrochloride will be administered into the paraneural sheath at the popliteal fossa (prior to nerve bifurcation).
