Ankle fusion for definitive management of non-reconstructable pilon fractures.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recently, peripheral nerve blocks have increasingly been used in orthopedic surgery. The foot block is an alternative for anesthesia in cases of forefoot and midfoot operations. We propose a modification of the block technique due to potential difficulties concerning the tibial nerve. MATERIALS AND METHODS:...
