Ultrasound-Guided Femoral and Sciatic Nerve Blocks for Repair of Tibia and Fibula Fractures in a Bennett’s Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus)

Figure 2

Femoral nerve: ultrasonographic view of the inguinal area of a wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus). The transducer was positioned on a transverse plane with respect to the long axis of the femur to obtain a short axis view of the femoral nerve. The femoral nerve can be identified as a hyperechoic rounded structure cranial to the femur, caudal to the rectus femoris muscle, and deep to the femoral artery and vastus medialis muscle. S is caudal.
