The lower leg surgeries (Below knee) involve fractures of the distal tibia, ankle surgeries, lower limb amputation, debridement, PVD surgeries, and these surgeries are very common. When associated with comorbidities, the choice of anesthesia in such cases may be regional or General Anesthesia. In this Prospective Randomised Controlled Trial, we aim to explore the efficacy of the Adductor canal block plus Popliteal Sciatic Block for Lower leg surgeries. Sixty patients (ASA I, II, III) undergoing lower limb surgeries were randomly allocated in 2 groups (30 patients in each group).
