Category:Ankle, Bunion, Hindfoot, Lesser Toes, Midfoot/Forefoot, Sports, TraumaIntroduction/Purpose:Surgical and analgesic advancements have increasingly allowed more foot and ankle procedures to be performed on an outpatient basis. Dual nerve blockade of saphenous and popliteal nerves minimizes post-operative pain, and continuous infusion via catheter can provide extended pain relief. In our experience, the combination of popliteal nerve catheters and single-shot saphenous nerve block effectively eliminates post-operative pain after most foot and ankle surgery. However, the early return of pain in the saphenous nerve distribution can cause early discomfort and even readmission for pain control. We hypothesized that patients receiving continuous popliteal nerve infusion with single-injection saphenous nerve block (single) will have greater post-operative pain than those patients receiving continuous popliteal and saphenous nerve infusion (dual).Methods:A cohort of 62 patients undergoing outpatient foot an...
