Hallux valgus surgery is known as a painful surgery. Qualitative pain management is the key to successful early recovery and rehabilitation. Popliteal sciatic nerve block is widely used despite the risk of falling due to prolonged motor blockade. Plantar block combined with distal peroneal block may be a better analgesic option in order to provide fast track rehabilitation. The purpose of this study is to describe the analgesic effect of the plantar compartment block following hallux valgus surgery.
