AB  - Distal  sciatic  nerve  block  (popliteal  fossa  block)  is  a  very  clinically  valuable  technique  that  results  in  anesthesia  of  the  calf,  tibia,  fibula,  ankle,  and  foot.1,2,3  The  sciatic  nerve  can  be  approached  from  either  the  posterior  approach,  described  by  Duane  Keith  Rorie,3  or  the  lateral  approach,  described  by  Jerry  Vloka.1  Both  approaches  provide  equivalent  anesthesia  and  are  suitable  for  catheter  placement.  Overall,  however,  the  posterior  approach  is  easier  for  trainees  to  learn.1,2
