Brief summary
The pain after clavicle fracture surgery may be managed with combined superficial cervical plexus-interscalene block and recently clavipectoral fascia plane block (CPB). CPB was defined by Valdes in 2017 firstly. It may be used for postoperative analgesia after clavicle surgery. CPB may be an alternative to interscalene brachial plexus block. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the US-guided CPB for postoperative analgesia management compare to no intervention control group after clavicle surgery. The primary aim is to compare postoperative opioid consumption and the secondary aim is to evaluate postoperative pain scores (VAS), adverse effects related with opioids (allergic reaction, nausea, vomiting).
Detailed description
Clavicle fracture is common in men and children after a direct fall on shoulder during sport activity such as cycling or an injury during a traffic accident. The pain after clavicle fracture surgery may be managed with combined superficial cervical plexus-interscalene block and recently clavipectoral fascia plane block (CPB). CPB was defined by Valdes in 2017 firstly. It may be used for postoperative analgesia after clavicle surgery. The clavipectoral fascia covers the clavicular site of the pectoralis major muscle. It provides the potential interfascial space between the clavicle and the pectoralis major muscle. CPB provide effective analgesia after clavicle surgery. It is also easy to perform. With this advantage and its analgesic effectiveness for clavicle surgery, CPB may be an alternative to interscalene brachial plexus block. However, randomized clinical efficacy trials are needed to investigate the effectiveness of CPB for clavicle fractures. In the literature, data about CPB is so limited, however it seems a good alternative to brachial plexus block for pain management after clavicle fracture The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the US-guided CPB for postoperative analgesia management compare to no intervention control group after clavicle surgery. The primary aim is to compare postoperative opioid consumption and the secondary aim is to evaluate postoperative pain scores (VAS), adverse effects related with opioids (allergic reaction, nausea, vomiting).
Interventions
Patients will be administered ibuprofen 400 mgr IV every 8 hours in the postoperative period. A patient controlled device prepared with 10 mcg/ ml fentanyl will be attached to all patients with a protocol included 10 mcg bolus without infusion dose, 10 min lockout time and 4 hour limit.

Study design
Masking description
The patient and the anesthesiologist who performs postoperative pain evaluation will not know the group.
Intervention model description
There are two models for this study. The first group is clavipectoral fascia plane block group. The second one is no intervention control group.
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification I-II * Scheduled for clavicle surgery under general anesthesia

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Opioid consumption | Change from baseline opioid consumption at postoperative 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 and 48 hours | The primary aim is to compare postoperative opioid consumption |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain scores (Visual analogue scores-VAS) | Changes from baseline pain scores at postoperative 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 hours. | Postoperative pain assessment will be performed using the VAS score (0 = no pain, 10 = the most severe pain felt). The VAS scores will be recorded |
