Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - patient older than 18 - elective operational treatment on foot or lower leg with the indication of a distal isciadic nerve block - written consent after detailed patient education - hospitalisation for at least two days after operational treatment

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - patient younger than 18 - BMI more than 40 - participation at another study - lack of written consent after detailed patient education - another operational treatment with different localisation during time of examination - chronic pain patient with taking of opioids - polyneuropathy/sensoric deficite on ipsilateral foot or lower leg - patient with dementia or mental retardation - allergy against Ropivacain or Prilocain

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary Outcome is the evaluation of dislocation rate of both catheter types by ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound control will be performed three times: immediately after end of surgery, on first and second postoperative day. The spread of sterile saline solution, applied through the catheter, will be observed by ultrasound imaging and the catheter location will be categorized in subfascial perineural, extrafascial dislocated perineural and intramuscular dislocated non-perineural.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcome is the evaluation of the quality of pain treatment in terms of postoperativ opioid consumption and extent of postoperativ pain (NRS in the morning, at noon as well as in the evening).
