Popliteal Nerve Block - Pain Management Education at UCSF
Unlike more proximal approaches to the sciatic nerve, the popliteal nerve block preserves hamstring function, allowing safer post-block ambulation. Since medial lower leg sensation is supplied by the saphenous nerve, a terminal branch of the femoral nerve, complete anesthesia of the lower leg also requires the blockade of the saphenous (or ...
Popliteal and saphenous block - Anesthesia Key
2021年6月15日 · The nerves blocked in the popliteal fossa—the tibial and peroneal nerves—are extensions of the sciatic nerve. The principal use of this block is for foot and ankle surgery.
