For upper extremity surgery involving wrist and hand, ultrasound (US) guide distal nerve block produces sufficient anesthesia with patient satisfaction. Here, we report a case study of adult with a proximal interphalangeal joint fracture and planned for US-guided wrist block involving media and ulnar using 0.5% bupivacaine + 2% lidocaine. Patient had maintenance of motor function with no complication of nerve injury. Wrist distal block produces safe anesthesia and effective patient satisfaction.
