Abstract

Background: Even though various peripheral nerve blocks are used for analgesia in clavicular fractures. The use of ultrasound guided combined superficial cervical plexus block and interscalene blocks as a sole anaesthetic technique for surgical fixation of clavicular fractures are not well, established. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review of patient undergoing clavicular fracture surgeries was performed. Patients received combined superficial cervical plexus block and interscalene block were included in the study. Block success and complication rate were evaluated. Results: Of the 20 patients underwent clavicular fracture surgery, 12 of them received ultrasound guided combined superficial cervical plexus block and interscalene block. Block success rate was found to be 100%. Time for rescue analgesia found to be 6.66 ± 0.84 hours. And there were no occurence of any Complications. Conclusion: We concluded that ultrasound guided combined superficial cervical plexus block and interscalene block can be used as a sole anaesthetic technique in clavicular fracture repair.
