  • Title: Digital nerve blocks: More gain with less pain.
    Author: Scarff CE, Scarff CW.
    Journal: Australas J Dermatol; 2007 Feb; 48(1):60-1. PubMed ID: 17222308.
    Abstract:
    Digital nerve blocks are commonly used and effective techniques for achieving anaesthesia of the digit for the purposes of enabling a variety of surgical procedures to be performed. Several techniques have been described including the traditional method, the metacarpal block and the transthecal approach. We favour the traditional technique, and describe a variation of the technique.
