Abstract
Ultrasound guidance technique currently represents the gold standard for regional anesthesia. In particular for lower extremity blocks, compared to anatomical landmark or localization technique with nerve stimulation, the ultrasound technique shows a modest improvement in block onset and quality. However, current literature lacks large size randomized trials and heterogeneity exist in various blocks. This chapter aims to present a comprehensive review of relevant applied anatomy of lower extremity, anatomical, and ultrasound-guided techniques for each block, and clinical implications of most commonly performed lower extremity blocks.
