Just after a couple of ideas. I have a patient who I've been managing conservatively for chauxic toenails for the last few years. A little while ago, I removed both 1st nails successfully. Recently, she has decided that she'd like to have all the lessor nails removed as well, as they get very uncomfortable in all of her footwear, and conservative management with clippers and burr only keeps her pain free for a couple of weeks.
My question is this; what is the best way for me to approach this from an anaesthesia point of view. I'm planning on doing each foot as separate surgeries, but am I better off to use a full ankle block, bilateral blocks to each digit, or aim slightly more proximally for the (distal part of the) common metatarsal nerves, just before they divide to enter each digit. Ideally, I'm after a technique which will reduce the amount of both anaesthetic I have to use as well as actual actual injections I have to give the patient, and I'd like to keep the amount of surgical visits for the patient to a minimum
Any ideas? :confused:
