Subject: Hammertoe local anesthesia - H-block?

This is for a hammertoe OP report:  .......2% lidocaine plain and 0.5% Marcaine plain were administered in an ________ block fashion.  s/l "H" as in H-block, but I can't confirm.  Does that stand for 'hammertoe block"........ or am I hearing it all wrong?
