title: [Local complications after axillary block anesthesia].
abstract: The authors treated a local complication after axillary block, probably after intraneural injection of lidocaine. At the operation severe epineural fibrosis was found and released. The result was good after some months. After this the authors realized a study with 14 hand surgeons, and only few cases like the first case were found. This technique axillary block, is very reliable technique, but very few local complications can occur, and it's necessary to know them. It's possible to avoid this local problem with a serious technique to realize axillary block. Never intraneural injection and never many punctures to research paresthesia from the nerves of the brachial plexus.
