Ultrasound-guided biceps femoris short head block: a novel regional anesthesia technique for the posterolateral knee
Our preliminary data demonstrate that the BiFeS block achieves complete blockage of the posterolateral knee capsule. This technique may serve as a complementary, motor-sparing regional anesthesia method, particularly for postoperative pain management following TKA. Advantages include a low risk of complications, avoidance of vascular and neural structures, feasibility in the supine position.
