Conditions

Health Condition 1: M848- Other disorders of continuity of bone

Interventions

Intervention1: Selective Trunk Block (SeTB):: Ultrasound guided selective trunk block will be done using local anesthetic agent (a mixture of 12.5 ml 2% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine and 12.5 m
200,000 epinephrine and 15ml 0.5% bupivacaine in a total of 30ml) will be injected at the interscalene groove and at the supraclavicular fossa in order to anesthetize the whole upper limb.
