Randomized Controlled Trial
Dose effectiveness of transthecal digital block.
The optimal volume of local anesthetic for transthecal digital block has not yet been identified. The goal of this study was to understand the effect of different volumes of local anesthetic using a modified transthecal digital block. ⋯ The effectiveness of the 3-mL modified transthecal digital block is greater than the 1- and 2-mL blocks in terms of rapidity of onset, completeness, and duration of anesthesia.
