Abstract
Recently, peripheral nerve blocks have increasingly been used in orthopedic surgery. The foot block is an alternative to anesthesia in cases of forefoot and midfoot operations.
We propose a modification and unification of the block technique due to difficulties with applications concerning the tibial nerve. The technique, proposed in the anatomical and evaluated in the clinical part, had a similar success rate when compared to techniques published in the literature.
Though comparable to currently used techniques, this technique provides easier manipulation of a patient and a complete block of the foot can be done with two skin injections.
