The effectiveness of peritibial fascial infiltration block for analgesia management after tibia fracture surgery: Description of a novel plane block

Abstract

Interfascial plane blocks have been used increasingly due to the advantages of ultrasound (US) in analgesia management after surgery.1 Fascial plane blocks are safe and easy to apply because of the US.1, 2 Several fascial plane blocks have been described in recent years. It is important to treat acute postoperative pain effectively to prevent complications, such as delayed mobilization, long hospital stay, and atelectasis, that may arise due to insufficient analgesia.3
