Introduction

Elbow block is used to provide anaesthesia and analgesia for hand and forearm surgery [1]. Primarily it is used to supplement or augment a proximal brachial plexus block if it is partial or patchy. Therefore elbow block is termed as rescue block by many Anaesthesiologists. In recent years, Ultrasonography(USG) guided distal blocks are studied with proximal brachial plexus block to accelerates anaesthesia onset time and block consistency for forearm surgeries [2]. Good anatomical knowledge of forearm nerves (Fig A) is utmost mandatory to use elbow block as a primary anaesthetic technique for forearm and hand surgeries [3, 4].
