Study Summary
Research study to determine if pain relief following foot and/or ankle surgery is influenced by the technique used to place perineural catheter. The catheters are placed using ultrasound-guidance or nerve stimulation and the method is selected at random using a computer program. This may help to determine if one of these methods is associated with an increased success rate and incidence of foot numbness during the infusion.
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Popliteal catheter placed via ultrasound or electrical stimulation
