Perineural Catheter for Hindfoot Surgery Pain Control

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational practice-evaluation audit at the University Hospital of Angers. It uses data from routine care to see how a perineural catheter for continuous local anesthetic infusion affects postoperative pain and recovery after hindfoot surgery. No changes to intraoperative care are made; researchers collect information from standard postoperative practice and patient-reported questionnaires. The goal is to determine if prolonged regional analgesia improves pain outcomes and functional recovery in this setting.
