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.
