Interscalene Block, Regional Anesthesia, Shoulder Surgery
Conditions
Brief summary
Interscalene brachial plexus block is the gold standard for perioperative pain management in shoulder surgery. However, this technique would have side effects and potential serious complications. The aim of this study is to compare between the combination of ultrasound guided suprascapular and supraclavicular nerve blocks versus ultrasound guided interscalene brachial plexus block for post operative analgesia after shoulder instability surgery with latarjet procedure.
