TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 35. Femoral Nerve Block A1 - Singelyn, François J. A2 - Hadzic, Admir PY - 2007 T2 - NYSORA Textbook of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management AB - The femoral nerve block is considered one of the basic nerve block techniques because it is relatively simple to perform, carries a low risk of complications, and results in a high success rate. When used alone, femoral nerve block is well suited for surgery on the anterior aspect of the thigh and for postoperative pain management after femur and knee surgery. However, when combined with a sciatic block, anesthesia of almost the entire lower limb from the mid-thigh level can be achieved.
