Ultrasound guided blockade of the distal sciatic nerve is a standard technique to provide intra-neural and postoperative analgesia for lower limb and knee surgery [1-4]. While ultrasound guidance might avoid intra-neural injection [5], the various techniques (anterior medial adductor canal approach, distal medial or lateral approach) are time consuming in their realization and might be awkward, when using ultrasound guidance, because of the need of special positioning of the patient or its leg [6-11]. Accordingly we have developed a novel femoral supporting pad with an integrated ultrasound probe holder to easily perform ultrasound guided distal sciatic nerve blockade while the patient remaining in the supine position. The present paper reports the results of the irst clinical use of this device.
