Abstract
Ankle block is a very useful regional anesthetic technique for foot surgery especially in the ambulatory setting. Adequate tourniquet management allows performance of most surgeries over the fore- and midfoot. Additionally, ankle block provides excellent postoperative analgesia, which is very important, because foot surgeries often involve several osteotomies which develop moderate to severe postoperative pain that is difficult to manage with standard oral analgesic regimens.
