Abstract :
Early postoperative pain is one of the most important problems in pediatric orthopedic surgery. Introduction of the use of ultrasound (US) has led to very important developments in pediatric regional anesthesia. We aimed to present with the literature data about that we applied the bilateral US-guided sciatic nerve block to the patient who was operated under bilateral knee disarticulation because of congenital tibia agenesis and talipes equinovarus. In conclusion we entertain that US-guided peripheral nerve blocks are effective and safety for postoperative pain in pediatric orthopedic surgery.
