Abstract

Two-dimensional ultrasound guidance has been used as an adjunct for neural blockade. With the development of newer ultrasound technology, three-dimensional ultrasound imaging is now available and may offer improved visualization of anatomic structures and relationships. We describe the successful blockade of the popliteal nerve with three-dimensional ultrasound guidance and image description.
