That method showed its efficacy in 52 (83.9%) cases. The level of anesthesia on the palmar surface of the finger corresponded to the injection point, on the dorsal one - to the middle of the main phalanx. Incomplete transthecal block was observed in cases when the injuries or their sequelae resulted in disturbance of tendon sheath leak-proofness (or permeability) as well as in interventions on a thumb.fingerstransthecal anesthesiaкистьпальцытранстекальная анестезия[Кузин М.И., Харнас С.Ш.
