Nerve Blocks for Regional Anesthesia for Regenerative Interventional Treatment
摘要
Peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) can lessen procedural pain and eliminate the known detrimental effects of our local anesthetics on our orthobiologic target tissues. Local nerve damage and local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) are risks of PNBs that can be minimized with meticulous injection technique and an understanding of why these complications can occur. Herein, several PNB techniques are described in an effort to enhance procedural safety, efficacy, and comfort.
