title: [Plexus nerve blocks for postoperative analgesia after orthopedic surgery of the lower limbs].
abstract: In our institution, plexus nerves blocks have been performed in seventy patients after lower limb surgery. The technique is considered as simple and reliable. The administration of a 0.375 per cent bupivacaine epinephrine containing solution allows to obtain analgesia longer than 15 hours in 45 p. 100 of the patients, devoided of side effects. Lower limb plexus nerves blocks appear as an efficient technique for postoperative analgesia following orthopaedic surgery.
