ABSTRACT
Peripheral nerve blocks are typically avoided for high-speed tibial plateau fractures due to their ability to mask the paresthesias and pain associated with the feared complication of acute compartment syndrome (ACS). We present a case in which sciatic nerve and adductor canal catheters were placed utilizing low-volume infusions allowing for neurovascular assessment. These catheters served as a valuable portion of the multi-modal pain regimen in this patient with a Schatzker VI tibial plateau fracture.
