Discussion

Cadaveric analysis compares ultrasound-guided and landmark-based WALANT techniques, indicating superior anesthetic coverage.

Ultrasound-guided WALANT injection shows superior anatomical targeting compared to blind techniques.
Compared to landmark-based methods, the ultrasound approach achieves better perineural anesthetic distribution.
Imaging revealed that ultrasound-guided distributions are more compact and precise, especially around the median nerve.
Using ultrasound guidance for WALANT procedures may reduce complications due to anatomical variation.
