Femoral Nerve Block

A femoral nerve block is a medical procedure where an anesthetic is injected near the femoral nerve in the thigh. This helps numb the area and reduce pain, particularly after knee or hip surgery. By blocking pain signals from the leg to the brain, patients often experience less discomfort during recovery. The procedure is generally safe and can significantly improve mobility and overall comfort, allowing patients to participate in rehabilitation activities more easily. It is commonly used in combination with other pain management techniques to enhance recovery experiences.
