BACKGROUND Regional Anaesthesia is the preferred anaesthetic technique for surgical procedures in the lower limb and among various techniques, nerve blocks provide an interesting option. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied the effectiveness of nerve locator guided anterior combined approach of 3 in 1 block and sciatic nerve block by single injection technique for below knee procedures. RESULTS We have evaluated the mean onset and duration of block in the distributions of the branches of the lumbar plexus and the sciatic nerve. CONCLUSION We conclude that the single injection technique is a viable and suitable option for anterior combined approach of 3 in 1 block and sciatic nerve blocks.
