Abstract: This text and its companion DVD thoroughly review the anatomy points needed to know to effectively execute these techniques, and demonstrate all 16 essential nerve blocks as performed by specialists in orthopaedic anesthesiology. Abundant full-color photographs of the sequence of each block combined with full-color drawings and photographs of cadaver sections of the applied anatomy help to ensure proper needle placement for each procedure.
