Abstract
Ankle blocks are regional anaesthetic techniques used for foot surgery and pain management. Traditionally performed with anatomical landmarks, ultrasound-guided ankle and foot blocks have emerged as a pivotal technique in regional anaesthesia, offering enhanced precision and safety over traditional methods. This review article examines the current practices in ultrasound-guided ankle and foot blocks, including the necessary equipment, sonoanatomy, and injection techniques for various nerves. This comprehensive review aims to equip anaesthesiologists with the knowledge to effectively implement ultrasound-guided ankle and foot blocks, ultimately optimizing pain management and procedural success in lower extremity interventions. Keywords: Ankle block, Ultrasound guidance, Foot and ankle surgery
