Abstract
Ultrasound-Guided Popliteal Nerve Block has become a routine plan of anesthesia for below-knee Surgeries. It takes care of post-operative analgesia leading to the reduction of intravenous analgesia. In comparison to multiple pricks, single prick blocks are gaining importance since the success rate is the same, the duration of the procedure is less and patients cooperate better. Patients find to be in a prone position when compared to the lateral position and the ease of block is expected to be better in the lateral position. There are two approaches to block, commonest is the lateral approach which needs a change of needle direction and another prick to block both nerves.
