Brief Summary   Peripheral nerve block provides anaesthesia, analgesia, early ambulation, and a shorter hospital stay. Through various adjuvants like opioids, steroids, magnesium,alpha 2 agonists , etc.have been used in peripheral nerve blocks for many years, the quest for a newer adjuvant for nerve blocks continues. With good knowledge of dermatomes, myotomes and osteotomes of lower limb and the use of ultrasound for precise perineural deposition of local anaesthetics, there is an increase in the success rate with prolonged duration and decrease in the incidence of complications associated with peripheral nerve blocks. The effectiveness of two additives used in the popliteal nerve block for below knee surgery to prolong the duration and effectiveness of anaesthesia has been examined individually by multiple studies and have suggested that additives may have a positive effect on peripheral nerve blocks.
