Lateral popliteal sciatic nerve block compared with subcutaneous infiltration for analgesia following foot surgery

Abstract: A new lateral approach to blocking the sciatic nerve in the popliteal fossa is described. In a prospective study, 40

“…Regional anaesthetic techniques, such as ankle blockade can reduce pain and the side-effects of systemic analgesics and improve patient satisfaction [3,4]. Ankle blockade can provide analgesia for the foot for up to 14 h, as opposed to about six hours with local infiltration [5,6]. Unfortunately the onset of pain 14 h after surgery can still be severe, waking patients in the night [7].…”

“…285 They compared the lateral popliteal fossa block with an ankle block 286 and with subcutaneous infiltration of local anesthetics. 284 The popliteal fossa block provided longer postoperative analgesia. 287 When the UGRA technique is used, blocking the tibial and common peroneal nerves in the popliteal fossa separately at the bifurcation provides a faster onset than does a prebifurcation sciatic block.…”

“…[283][284][285] A popliteal fossa block provides effective postoperative analgesia for all foot and ankle procedures (assuming that the saphenous nerve is concomitantly blocked). It also preserves hamstring function, thus facilitating ambulation.…”

“…As such, sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa has a highly variable success rate (Taboada et al, 2003). Complete nerve block failure rates using a lateral popliteal fossa approach ranges from *3 to 43% (McLeod et al, 1994;Zetlaloui and Bouaziz, 1998;Taboada et al, 2003), depending on the accompanying localization technique utilized (e.g., needle stimulation with plantar flexion or dorsiflexion). Guntz et al (2004) reports nerve block failure rates of 10-15% using a medial popliteal fossa approach, assisted with a nerve stimulator to localize the nerve; how-ever, Kilpatrick et al (1992) reports a failure rate of 55% using the posterior approach.…”
