            • Ankle block targets
              • Posterior tibial nerve: Innervation of plantar surface of foot (branch of sciatic nerve)
              • Deep peroneal nerve: Innervation of dorsal 1st interweb space of foot (branch of sciatic nerve)
              • Superficial peroneal nerve: Innervation of dorsal surface of foot (branch of sciatic nerve)
              • Sural nerve: Innervation of lateral foot (branch of sciatic nerve)
              • Saphenous nerve: Innervation of medial foot (branch of saphenous nerve)
            • Ankle block can be performed as anatomic landmark technique or ultrasound-guided technique
