Ultrasound-assisted and evoked motor response stimulation of the deep peroneal nerve.

Background: We performed an observational volunteer study to document an ultrasound-guided evoked motor response blockade of the deep peroneal nerve.

Methods: Sixteen volunteers had deep peroneal nerve blocks in each foot. After visualization of the artery and the deep peroneal nerve with an ultrasound, the nerve was stimulated with a nerve stimulator.
