What is the method of anesthesia for foot surgery

The specific anesthesia method for foot surgery is directly related to the condition of the foot and the patient’s laboratory tests prior to surgery, and can be broadly divided into local infiltration anesthesia, lumbar anesthesia, and general anesthesia. For example, if the foot surgery is simply a simple skin debridement and suturing, local infiltration anesthesia can be done. However, if the fracture requires internal fixation of the plate, anesthesia of the lumbar region should be performed, which can be divided into lumbar anesthesia and combined epidural lumbar anesthesia. However, if there is a preoperative related examination, only general anesthesia can be done after there are corresponding contraindications for performing lumbar anesthesia. Therefore, there is no complete conclusion on which anesthesia method should be chosen for foot surgery, and the above is a general principle, which should be analyzed according to the condition.
