Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Compare the efficacy of popliteal sciatic nerve block with distal sciatic bifurcation nerve block in terms of onset of sensory and motor blockade.Timepoint: 1. Time of onset of sensory and motor blockade. 2. Time at which complete sensory and motor blockade achieved. 3. Duration of action of the block.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Compare the duration of analgesia with popliteal sciatic nerve block & distal sciatic nerve block.Timepoint: 1. Visual analogue scale postoperatively at 0 hr,1hr, 4hr , 8hr, 12hr, & 24 hr. 2. Requirement of IV analgesia within 24hrs. 3. Patient satisfaction.	—
