Ultrasound Guided Popliteal Nerve Block for Operative Ankle Instability Procedures
Journal Title: Journal of Anesthesia and Surgery - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
At our institution, OrthoIndy Hospital, prior to regional anesthesia, patients undergoing operative ankle instability procedures required overnight admissions to the hospital for pain control. Techniques of regional anesthesia have been described throughout the literature. After instituting regional anesthesia under ultrasound for operative ankle instability procedures, patients have been able to be discharged home on the same day. Complications have been reported of up to 10 percent throughout the literature. This is a retrospective review of the author’s operative cases utilizing regional anesthesia for ankle instability procedures.
