Abstract
The Wide-Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) Approach to Dellon Triple decompression involves the use of local anesthetic with epinephrine and no tourniquet. This study shows that WALANT is a safe and effective procedure and can be performed in an outpatient setting for the decompression of the common peroneal nerve in the knee, tibial nerve in the ankle and deep peroneal nerve in the dorsum of the foot in diabetic patients with superimposed nerve compressions to diabetic neuropathy. WALANT technique demonstrated to be a safe procedure to surgically treat diabetic patients with superimposed compressive neuropathy to diabetic neuropathy in the lower limbs and had no complications.
