Thank you for the question. The reason is that more distal blocks do not interfere that much with ambulation. Popliteal block is more complete/simpler but results in inability to ambulate. Best regards!
Today I did my first ankle block, everything was ok but at the end of the surgery the patient started feeling the stitches, do you think that was the superficial peroneal nerve? I used chirocaine 0,75% 5ml/nerves. Thanks for your help!
