The case report of Aveline and Bonnet1 brings out an important potential clinical complication occurring after repeated attempts of a deep plexus block and the concomitant need for anticoagulation. Their patient had been maintained preoperatively, uneventfully, on prophylactic phenylindanedione (international normalized ratio (INR) between 2 and 3) which was stopped 5 days before surgery, restarted on day 3 after surgery and continued daily during hospitalization and at home. Enoxaparin 60 mg twice daily
