Abstract
We present our experience with the use of nerve block anesthesia in 212 of 484(43.8% ) surgical procedures of the foot and ankle between 1995 and 1997. Nerve block anesthesia was used for surgical procedures of the forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot, and ankle in the setting of elective surgery and trauma. From the viewpoint of the surgeon, nerve block anesthesia was completely successful in 99.5% of the procedures performed. We confirmed that 80% of patients were satisfied with the use of nerve block anesthesia for their operative procedure. There were only one(0.5%) miner complication being toxic neuritis of posterior tibial nerve. With increasing experience, the expanded indications and uses of nerve block anesthesia for foot and ankle surgery are proving to be simple, safe, reliable, and well tolerated by the patient.
