Ultrasound-Guided Sural Nerve and Tibial Nerve Block Provides Comparable Analgesia to Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block Following Calcaneal Surgery: A Single Center Randomized Controlled Double-Blind Study
Ultrasound-guided sural and tibial nerve blocks provide effective operative and postoperative analgesia comparable to popliteal sciatic nerve block. The blocks are easy to perform, have a faster onset, and achieve high patient satisfaction, making them a valuable alternative for calcaneal surgery.
