Figure 3. For the median nerve block, place the linear ultrasound probe in a transverse position at the wrist crease on the volar surface of the distal forearm. Scan proximally to the mid-forearm (A) and look for the classic “honeycomb” appearance of a nervous structure at the junction of several fascial planes (B). insert your needle from whichever side is most comfortable (A&C).
