Introduction

Hindfoot surgery is assumed to be more painful than midfoot/forefoot procedures with the former often requiring an inpatient stay for pain relief. Poorly controlled pain is associated with adverse patient outcomes and consequently, peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) have become popular for their effective pain control.

Aim

To investigate whether hindfoot procedures are more painful than forefoot/midfoot procedures by measuring pain scores, assessing effectiveness of PNBs and patient satisfaction in foot and ankle surgery.
