Regional anaesthesia is preferred for Orthopaedic surgeries as it provides post-operative analgesia and reduces intraoperative analgesic requirement. With availability of safer local anaesthetics, blocks can be given using anatomical landmark or peripheral nerve stimulator or USG. Block can be given along with general anaesthesia for patients who insists on it. This study was done in Orthopaedic operation theatre in tertiary care hospital. Anaesthesia records of all operated patients in last one year were studied. Total 724 patients were operated out of which 544 (75.07%) were males and 180(24.87%) were females. Paediatric patients were given general anaesthesia with blocks to avoid unpleasant memory of operations. Upper-extremity blocks are successful at hand of expert (86%).Upper limb surgeries were 270(37.29%) and lower limb surgeries were 422(55.96%). Total 38 cases were conducted under general anaesthesia. Lower limb surgeries were done under spinal, spinal anaesthesia +epidural anaesthesia,epidural anaesthesia or block.
