This 3D animation here demonstrates a saphenous nerve block that can be done with Sonosite II in mid-thigh.
The procedure is useful as a supplement to sciatic nerve block for foot and ankle procedures that involve the medial aspect of the malleolus and the foot. The nerve block has also been reported as a supplement to multimodal analgesia protocols in patients having knee arthroplasty.
The saphenous nerve illustrated here is a terminal sensory branch of the femoral nerve. It supplies innervation to the medial aspect of the leg down to the ankle and foot. It also sends infrapatellar branches to the knee joint.
