A<unk>  is a nerve block that uses local anesthetic to achieve analgesia in the leg. The block works by affecting the<unk>  nerve and is used for surgeries at or below the knee. The<unk>  nerve is located in the gluteus maximus muscle, where the block is performed. The<unk>  nerve can be blocked at different locations. At the popliteal fossa, the<unk>  nerve divides into its two branches: The tibial and the common peroneal nerve. If surgery is performed on the ankle, achilles tendon or foot a popliteal block can be performed, affecting the two branches of the<unk>  nerve. It is done above the knee on the posterior leg where the<unk>  nerve starts splitting into the common peroneal and tibial nerves.
