    AbstractPeripheral nerve blocks for postoperative pain management in distal radius fracture fixation with volar locking plates can cause undesirable motor paralysis. We performed bilateral ultrasound-guided selective sensory nerve blocks to the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm, superficial branch of the radial nerve, and anterior interosseous nerve for a patient undergoing bilateral distal radius fracture fixation with volar locking plates. This case report describes the first successful use of this ultrasound-guided selective sensory nerve block, which provided satisfactory postoperative analgesia and preserved the patient's motor function following distal radius fracture fixation with volar locking plates.Copyright © 2021 International Anesthesia Research Society.
