Abstract

. have defined the peritibial fascial infiltration block (PFIB) for ankle fractures. This report discusses two cases where PFIB was utilized as part of a multimodal analgesic strategy. The first case involved a 13-year-old male with a lateral malleolus fracture following a bicycle accident. The second case concerned a 27-year-old male with bilateral malleolus fractures sustained in a motorcycle accident. In both cases, PFIB was administered preoperatively, and neither patient required supplemental analgesics postoperatively. The PFIB appears to be a promising adjunct in multimodal analgesia for ankle fractures. Further research is warranted to validate its efficacy and broader applications.
