Abstract
The three-in-one block (3 in 1) of the lower limb is a technique for blocking the femoral, lateral cutaneous femoris and obturator nerve as first described by Winnie et al. in 1973 [1]. On an anatomical and theoretical background Winnie proposed in the original article a technique using a similar concept as the one that applies to the brachial plexus block.
