Abstract
102 Until relatively recently, nerve blocks of the lower limb were only practised by regional anaesthesia enthusiasts and rarely by others. Whilst brachial plexus blockade has provided an alternative to general anaesthesia for upper limb surgery, spinal and epidural anaesthesia have offered a safe, reliable and easily performed alternative for most lower limb procedures. However, interest in lower limb blocks has been increasing as the benefits of prolonged pain control have become increasingly recognised. The aim of this article is to review major lower limb nerve blocks, focusing on their clinical applicability and role in current practice.
