“This block is shown to be safe and effective for achieving durable, motor-sparing, and opioid-sparing analgesia and employs similar techniques to other ultrasound-guided nerve blocks familiar to emergency physicians. Recently, a case report described the use of the genicular nerve block in an ED setting for a tibial plateau fracture where it provided effective analgesia for acute traumatic knee pain. “
