Technique du bloc fémoral : On fait un bouton dermique à un travers de doigt en dehors de l'artère fémorale, juste au-dessous de l'arcade crurale. On enfonce une aiguille sur une longueur de 3 à 4cm de façon à ce qu'elle batte avec l'artère et on injecte 20 ml d’une solution de lignococaine à 2%. Le nerf se trouve au-dessous de l'aponévrose profonde. 1, record 3, French, - bloc%20f%C3%A9moral
