Ultrasound-guided motor-sparing forearm blocks for hand surgery: surgical and anesthetic perspectives
Intraoperative motor testing in complex surgical repair of the hand is associated with improved surgical outcomes, as well as greater patient satisfaction. Ultrasound-guided motor-sparing forearm blocks are a safe and effective method for achieving surgical anesthesia and optimal operating conditions in this context.
