Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare efficacy of anaesthesia provided by USG guided popliteal sciatic nerve plus saphenous nerve nerve and spinal anaesthesia for below knee surgeries.  For duration of intraoperative 90mins and postoperative 24hours , 2 hourly for 1st 6 hours and 6 hourly for remaining 18 hours 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To assess and compare the postoperative pain, duration of analgesia and analgesic requirement in these patients.
To evaluate and compare the incidence of complications or side effects assciated with both techniques, including hemodynamic effects, nerve damage
to assess patient satisfaction and comfort levels with both anaesthesia technique through postoperative surveys
to compare the recovery times including the time to mobilization 
for 24 hours

Response - NO
Brief Summary   As there is limited related studies, which suggests use of popliteal sciatic nerve block plus saphenous nerve for below knee surgeries patient. This study is mainly focused on proving the efficacy of popliteal sciatic nerve block plus saphenous nerve block in below knee surgery patient is more effective than spinal anaesthesia specially in high risk patients. By giving this popliteal sciatic nerve block plus saphenous nerve block, patient will be more hemodynamically stable and less post operative pain for longer duration. There will be use of less analgesia postoperatively.
