Image of the Week – Superficial and Deep Peroneal Nerve Block

The Image of the Week  comes to us from Drs. Karen Bowers and Mene Demestihas who used ultrasound to assist with anesthesia to a complex laceration involving the dorsum of the foot and first web space. They performed two nerve blocks, one of which is shown below.  How would you anesthetize a wound like this?

Thanks for all of your great images this week!

Happy Scanning!
