No: An ankle or block in the digital area can be performed, you may want a little sedation but make sure the person doing the sedation is trained to do so.

Digital toe block: A digital toe block is performed with local anesthetic similar to what you get at a dentist office. Granulation tissue usually occurs on the side of the nail is that what you meant?
