Abstract:
Fascial plane blocks have become increasingly popular for postoperative analgesia. Recently, Ekinci et al. have defined the peritibial fascial infiltration block (PFIB) for ankle fractures. This report discusses two cases where PFIB was utilized as part of a multimodal analgesic strategy. The first case involved a 13-year-old male with a lateral malleolus fracture following a bicycle accident. The second case concerned a 27-year-old male with bilateral malleolus fractures sustained in a motorcycle accident. In both cases, PFIB was administered preoperatively, and neither patient required supplemental analgesics postoperatively. The PFIB appears to be a promising adjunct in multimodal analgesia for ankle fractures. Further research is warranted to validate its efficacy and broader applications.
