Three lower-extremity nerve blocks are examined in chapter 25: lateral femoral cutaneous, obturator, and saphenous. The following aspects of the procedure are reviewed for each block: clinical applications, relevant anatomy, patient position, technique (including neural localization techniques, needle insertion site, and needle redirection cues), and side effects and complications. A discussion of ultrasound guidance is included for saphenous nerve blockade.
