Abstract
Wide awake local anesthetic no tourniquet (WALANT) surgery of the foot and ankle has the potential to offer safe and effective surgeon-based anesthesia for a significant number of surgeries about the foot and ankle. This has been documented with significant and growing body of literature. WALANT could offer significant advantages with respect to patient experience, per case cost of procedures as well as for improving access for patients to operative resources in a setting of scarcity or restricted access.
