In the last decade, the advances in ultrasound-guided approaches for regional analgesia and anesthesia of the lower limb have been vertiginous. In recent years, the anatomical studies that give rise to the development of these techniques have multiplied considerably and allow the clinician to offer approaches for exclusive regional anesthesia and sensitive analgesic blocks in the region to allow early mobility, important in the new peri-operative management protocols and to avoid complications related to immobility. Undoubtedly, the systematic study of each approach and the anatomical and pharmacological foundations allow us to safely and efficiently provide a therapeutic tool in each clinical scenario. In this review, we briefly look over the most commonly used techniques and the new approaches proposed in regional analgesia and anesthesia of the lower limb (full version and videos visit http://www.painoutmexico.com).
