Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of postoperative symptoms of neurologic injury after a single shot infragluteal-parabiceps sciatic nerve block versus a continuous infragluteal-parabiceps sciatic nerve catheter.

Detailed description

There are a limited number of prospective studies in the literature examining the risk of neurologic injury and symptoms after sciatic nerve blocks. The incidence of transient neurological symptoms after a continuous catheter is not well reported.

Conditions

• Fracture of Foot
