Liposomal bupivacaine has been explored for indications in regional anesthesia, but little has been reported about its use in pediatric patients. In March 2021, the FDA approved an indication for liposomal bupivacaine as an infiltrated local anesthetic in children older than the age of six. Despite this recently expanded indication, the literature lacks reports of use for peripheral nerve blockade in children. We describe a case where liposomal bupivacaine was used for femoral and sciatic nerve blocks in a 5-year-old child with traumatic amputation of his lower leg. Pain control was excellent, with no pain or opioid use reported during the first 62 hours. After the regional anesthesia subsided, the patient required in total 4 oral doses of oxycodone 0.1 mg/kg prior to discharge. The patient did not develop chronic pain or phantom limb syndrome. While liposomal bupivacaine is not currently FDA-approved for peripheral nerve blockade in children, this case highlights a potentially effective use of this drug and possible area for further investigation.

AbstractPerioperative care of the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patient has evolved considerably over the past decade. Among the changes driving this evolution toward shorter hospitalization and accelerated rehabilitation have been regional anesthesia, peripheral nerve blockade, and multimodal analgesia protocols. These complementary techniques are increasingly supported by scientific evidence, though considerable uncertainty persists regarding the optimal combination of strategies. Continued refinement of technique and critical evaluation is trending toward greater characterization of the comparative effectiveness of myriad options. Contemporary interdisciplinary arthroplasty care teams have the opportunity to individualize the TKA patient's perioperative pain control to optimize not only the clinical outcome but also patient satisfaction.

Chapter 5 contains a basic review of terminology used to describe body planes, surface orientation, and movements. The anatomy of major nerve plexuses are also examined: brachial plexus, lumbar plexus, lumbosacral plexus. The chapter concludes with a discussion of peripheral nerve anatomy and sensory and motor innervation, including dermatomes, osteotomes, and myotomes.
