Category:Basic Sciences/BiologicsIntroduction/Purpose:Peripheral nerve block in the foot and ankle is usually used for anesthesia in forefoot and midfoot surgeries. However, since the postoperative analgesia obtained is prolonged, we can expand its use, as an adjuvant after the end of the spinal or general anesthesia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of peripheral nerve block of the foot and ankle as a method of postoperative analgesia.Methods:A prospective, randomized, blinding study was performed. The study group included 30 patients (32 feet) submitted to peripheral anesthetic block after surgery with spinal anesthesia and the control group (30 patients, 31 feet) were patients not submitted to nerve block. The inclusion criterion was: patients submitted to foot and ankle surgery at our institution. Patients answered the questionnaire postoperatively, with the measurement of pain intensity by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the time of onset of pain. All local peripheral block was perform...
