Summary
The purpose of this research is to determine if both local anesthetics (mepivacaine and
bupivacaine) are similar in their onset of sensory block to assess the efficiency of
ultrasound-guided ankle blocks in our practice. Currently it is the standard of care to
perform ankles blocks with both mepivacaine and bupivacaine. However, given similarity in
their safety profile researchers would like to compare if one is non-inferior to the other in
terms of onset time of ankle block.
