Abstract
Analgesia below the knee can be achieved by blocking the tibial nerve and the common peroneal nerve in the popliteal fossa, and the saphenous nerve adjacent to the knee. The anatomy and technique of nerve block in the popliteal fossa is described, the nerve being located prior to blockade using a peripheral nerve stimulator. The block as described has been used in children for postoperative analgesia, as a diagnostic block, and as an adjunct to the physiotherapy management of severe equinus deformity after brain injury.
