Early active mobilization after hand surgery is extremely important for preventing scar tissue and adhesion. We examined four patients for whom continuous peripheral nerve blocks (CPNB) were used during and after hand surgery. This method was used for three median nerves and one ulnar nerve. A 2-cm incision was made at distal one-third of the forearm with local analgesia. The catheter tip was placed in the distal one-fourth of the forearm, and the hand surgery was begun. Early active mobilization and the self-rehabilitation exercise started immediately after the operation. The VAS scores during exercise were 0–2 (mean: 1.3); pain was controlled sufficiently. Regarding ROM, excellent results were obtained for tenolysis, with good results for arthrolysis. No infection or postoperative nerve compression was found. This method, using CPNB with a portable infusion pump, is effective and safe for use at home for postoperative pain control.

Seventy reconstructive operations on the hand were done with the patient's full co-operation during the procedure. Anæsthesia was provided by a peripheral nerve block at the level of the wrist or the metacarpo-phalangeal joint. This technique enabled the surgeon to estimate the required extent of such operations as tenolysis, arthrolysis, arthroplasty, and tendon graft. It also helped the patient to appreciate the movement he could achieve post-operatively.
