Brief Summary
In this study, patients who underwent osteosynthesis with plate via standard anterolateral incision due to proximal tibia fracture in the orthopedic clinic within the last year; those who underwent perioperative anesthesia with spinal block, those who underwent postoperative analgesia with Ultrasound-guided popliteal sciatic nerve block, lumbar-sacral Erector Spine plane block combinations in the recovery unit will be identified and their files will be scanned retrospectively. Gender, surgical duration, postoperative block, pre-post block pain levels will be reviewed via Visual Analog Scale scoring, postoperative analgesics consumed and their amounts, Bromage scale, mobilization times, block-related complications, satisfaction levels will be determined and these two groups of patients who underwent block will be compared in terms of analgesia, complications, and satisfaction.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Postoperative Analgesia
Postoperative analgesia will be assessed by Visual Analog Scale Score and postoperative analgesic consumption. The visual analog scale is a numerical assessment ranging from 0 to 10. A score of 0 is considered as no pain, a score of 5 is considered as moderate pain, and a score of 10 is considered as unbearable pain. Rescue intravenous analgesic treatment is applied to scores of 4 and above.

Study Arms (2)
Erector Spinae Plane Block Group
Patients who underwent spinal anesthesia due to tibial fracture will be identified from their follow-up files. Among these patients, those who underwent erector spinae plane block with 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine and 5 ml of 1% lidocaine at the sacral level and 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine and 5 ml of 1% lidocaine at the L3 level while sitting under ultrasound guidance for postoperative analgesia will constitute this group.
Sciatic Nerve Plane Block Group
Patients who underwent spinal anesthesia due to tibial fracture will be identified from their follow-up files. Among these patients, those who underwent popliteal sciatic nerve block with 30 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine while supine position under ultrasound guidance for postoperative analgesia will constitute this group.
Interventions
This study is to retrospectively compare the analgesic efficacy and impact on postoperative recovery of popliteal sciatic nerve blocks and Lumbar-Sacral Erector Spinae Plane blocks administered for postoperative pain management in tibial fractures.
