- •
We are the first to describe the current use of peripheral blocks and tourniquets in Australia representing a modern western country.
- •
The current practice of Australian foot surgeons is not based on evidence but individual preferences.
- •
Most Australian foot and ankle surgeons were reluctant to use local anaesthetic techniques without accompanying GA.
- •
Popliteal block + GA was preffered for hindfoot surgery and ankle block + GA for more distal procedures.
- •
Everyone used a tourniquet for surgery, mostly placed on the thigh.
