摘要
Ultrasound technology can facilitate peripheral nerve blocks in clinical practice. In this case report, ultrasound imaging was used to identify the sciatic nerve and guide local anesthetic injection in the subgluteal region of a child undergoing Achilles tendon lengthening. Sonographic guidance may be especially useful for peripheral nerve blocks in children because the neural imaging is often excellent and reference landmarks are variable.
