Abstract
The severity of nerve injury after needle nerve perforation was related to the diameter of the applied cannula. However, no such difference exists for regional inflammation. Functional consequences of these findings need to be determined. Currently, small-diameter cannulae may be advisable for peripheral nerve blocks to minimize the risk of nerve injury in the case of nerve perforation.
