Segment:0 .
The posterior tibial nerve runs just behind the medial malleolus and superficial to the posterior tibial artery. Here, the medial malleolus is identified in black, the Achilles tendon in blue, and the approximate position of the posterior tibial nerve in red.
Identify the posterior tibial artery by palpating the artery posterior to the medial malleolus. Insert the needle just posterior to the artery until it penetrates the deep fascia. If the pop of the deep fascia cannot be felt, continue inserting the needle until it contacts bone. Withdraw 2 to 3 millimeters and inject 3 to 5 milliliters of anesthesia.
To increase the odds of a successful block, place an additional 3 to 5 milliliters lateral and then medial to the original injection point.
