| description | Distal fibula fracture is a common injury of the lower limb. Significantly displaced distal fibula fracture is treated with surgical fixation under general, spinal, or regional anesthesia. We present a case of displaced distal fibula fracture with both the regional anesthesia and operation performed by the same attending orthopedic surgeon. The patient underwent successful ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia as well as open reduction and internal fixation. This case report highlights the technical detail for ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia and surgical fixation by surgeon. |
