Match the innervation of the anatomy to the block you would perform o cover that area
a. Suprascapular and axillary nerves to the shoulder joint –
Interscalene block
Match the innervation –> Rectus femoris from the femoral nerve, branches of the obturator nerve and quadratus femoris from the sacral plexus to the Hip joint
- SAB/ Epidural
Match the innervation –>Branches from the femoral nerve, the posterior division of the Obturator nerve and both division of the sciatic nerve to the Knee joint –
Femoral, Sciatic
Match the innervation –>The terminal branches of the Common Peroneal nerves, Tibial Nerve, and Femoral Nerve. Mainly, the entire Ankle Joint can be thought of simply as “innervation of the Sciatic and Femoral nerves”.
– Ankle Block
Match the innervation Terminal branches of the Brachial Plexus, including the Radial and Ulnar nerves. -
